Authorities dropping charges against Scottie Scheffler over PGA Championship arrest
SUMMARY
Kentucky prosecutors announced Wednesday that they are dropping criminal charges against golfer Scottie Scheffler, resolving the case less than two weeks after his arrest. Scheffler, 27, faced four charges, including second-degree assault on a police officer, after allegedly dragging an officer with his car while attempting to enter Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville. The incident occurred ahead of his PGA Championship tee time. Prosecutors' decision came shortly before his arraignment, which had been rescheduled. The Louisville Metropolitan Police Department revealed that the officer involved didn't have his body-worn camera on, casting doubt on the initial report. Scheffler, released on bail, played in the championship, finishing eighth.
