Golf: New footage has been released of golfer Scottie Scheffler being arrested which dominated headlines last week.
New footage emerges of Scheffler | 01:17Prosecutors in Kentucky on Wednesday dropped all charges against top-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler , who was arrested after allegedly ignoring police at a traffic stop outside the US PGA Championship.
A police report said Scheffler had disobeyed orders to stop his car and accelerated, dragging to the ground police officer Bryan Gillis, who was hospitalised with bruising and swelling. Attorneys for Scheffler denied Gillis was dragged by the golfer’s vehicle. “Based on the totality of the evidence my office cannot move forward in the prosecution of the charges filed against Mr Scheffler,” O’Connell said.Source: Getty Images
Scheffler had been charged with felony assault on a police officer, criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from an officer directing traffic. O’Connell told the court in Louisville that Scheffler’s claim of misunderstanding “is corroborated by the evidence.”
