The Louisville Metro police chief who oversaw the department’s mishandling of the Scottie Scheffler arrest resigned Tuesday, Mayor Craig Greenberg announced, according to the Associated Press.
Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel resigned due to the mishandling of a sexual harassment claim about an officer, per the report, becoming the third Louisville police chief to be fired or resign since 2020.
The Louisville police department came under fire in May after charges against Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, were dropped following his highly publicized arrest.
