Scottie Scheffler admitted to cops ‘I should have stopped’ before accusing ‘over-aggressive’ Detective Bryan Gillis of ‘hitting me with his flashlight’ in new footage captured just minutes after his arrest at the PGA Championship.
Golf’s world No. 1 was arrested in the early hours of May 17 before his second round at Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky for not following police orders during a pedestrian fatality investigation.
The 27-year-old was booked on four charges, including second-degree assault of a police officer, but had all charges dropped today.
New video of the moment just after Scheffler was arrested and placed in the back of a police car has now been posted online.
In it he admits ‘I should have stopped’, claims he ‘was not aware’ Gillis was a cop and insists he only accelerated away from police because he feared for his safety.
