Doesn’t he have a driver?

Scottie Schefler Arrested on the way to Valhalla this Morning
- Thread starter NewGuyToTheBoard
- Start date
Yes
Why?
Or do you mean from one street to another? I suppose so. In a few states that's illegal anyway. In Michigan I think it's worded illegal if 'to avoid a traffic control device'.
For being publically intoxicated on Beale Street- could’ve been joined by me in 1988! Many drunk Hoosiers after that Liberty Bowl win!
Sounds like Scotty was a bit stupid.
Even if I don't know if dude in orange jacket is an official, if they have an arm in my car window, I'm going to know it. And I'm not going anywhere, no matter how annoyed I am.
But, I don't go to events every other week where I'm waved thru traffic control, so maybe he was a bit jaded, or unsure, or got distracted.
It's likely the officer didn't do a good job of making clear signals and instructions. But I don't know that.
Sad about the bus situation if that report is true.

4 under through 13 today. I think he's been able to put it out of his mind and focus on his round.
Last line of the police report is some great unintentional comedy.
A shame. Those pants were only a week away from retirement.
well. i think it's pretty clear that with whatever disposition is reached there is going to be some restitution. he may need to see if the court offers a payment plan for scheffler

Well he is being represented by one of the best in Louisville and quickly I might add. I bet the 4 owners of the course took care of all of this for him in short order. Many different reports on this, best I can tell and most consistent is SS didn't do much wrong here aside from drive 10 yards with the officer grabbing at him. A few reports state that other PGA issued cars had already gone right in front of SS and he was basically following but that could be incorrect.

If Scotty kept going even 10 feet with a police officer hanging onto his car, who then got a small road rash from it, I disagree with those saying this will be dismissed quickly.
The police will be like pit bulls even if it turns out one of their guys did something stupid. OBEY is supreme, as is their safety. They can't just let it go.
I don't recall it happening, almost ever. Eventually, it may go away without charges. But they'll need the contrite statement from Scotty at a minimum. Before they decide 'not enough evidence'.
Edit: Also, if he did know guy was an officer and trying to stop him? Then at a minimum he'll do safety classes in order to have charges dismissed upon completion.

I'm sure Scotty will have to give a statement. Apparently there are several witnesses who will be a big factor. The fact that SS was released and then one of the best attorney's in Louisville releases a statement shortly after tells me this will be over pretty quick. Just hard for me to fathom them letting him out if his act was so outrageous and truly put the officer at risk. I may be wrong, just to me it doesn't' add up.
The police don't have control over what happens to the case after the arrest. Prosecutors will handle that part. I've been part of many cases where the police were dissatisfied with the result of the case.
There are so many steps between now and the end that no one can confidently say they know what will happen. Anyone who does is lying or uninformed.
He already gave a statement, although he certainly does not have to. The Fifth Amendment guarantees that.
Of course. But how often do you see a quick 'give up' by the police, once an officer has made an arrest?
So, it won't likely be fast?
Some seemed to say it was already handled. No way, not how it works.
If the police are 100% in the wrong here, sure, prosecutor won't waste time. I doubt if that's the case.
Scottie is -4 today with three holes left, -8 for the tourney and in decent position to compete for another major this weekend (second best odds to win at the moment).
Quite a day.
Quite a day.
Cartman Cop overreacted.
Players were being waived in.
Lawyer Romines don’t play.
District Court here has 17 judges - getting out quick with a lawyer is nothing special.
Rumor is a Valhalla owner was there to post bond.
Taylor Swift says “Valhalla ain’t never ever getting back together with a PGA event.”

Tiger woulda been recognized and waived on in, with an apology.
He did something stupid but he seems like a great dude.

He’s highly religious, graduated from a better school than IU, married faithful- Scheffler is what is good about professional golf. Whomever showed he has zero knowledge of Scheffler that’s the corral, folks who don’t read spouting off.
I’m dubious I think Dakich has found his niche on Bar Stool
He’ll sign & donate some items that the cop shop can auction for charity & it’ll go away…
River City FOP golf outing is about to be next level.
Barstool would never hire him. They’re largely apolitical, and he has a bad relationship with some of their largest personalities.
He'll end up running the twitter account for Bar Stool Vincennes
Scheffler should have messed around with the cops and told them his last name was Schauffele.
The height difference though. Tough to pull that one off.
