Officer Involved In Scottie Scheffler Arrest At PGA Championship Complains About His Damaged Pants

The Scottie Scheffler arrest report following his detainment at the PGA Championship has been released and specifically details how an officer's pants were damaged during the situation.

Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, was arrested early Friday morning after reportedly ignoring an officer's instructions to stop his vehicle near the entrance to Valhalla Golf Club. Traffic was at a stand-still near the venue after a man was tragically struck and killed by a shuttle bus near an entrance to the golf course early Friday morning.

Scheffler was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, which is a felony, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic.

Scheffler released a statement saying the entire situation was a "misunderstanding."

The officer, noted as Detective Gillis in the arrest report, reportedly latched himself onto Scheffler's car as it was moving before it stopped some 20 yards later.

This, according to Detective Gillis, is when he sustained injuries and damage to his pants.

"Detective Gillis was directing traffic into Gate 1 of Valhalla Golf Course due to the road being closed in both directions from an earlier fatal collision. Listed subject was driving eastbound to gain access to the course. Subject pulled into the westbound lanes, where outbound traffic was flowing and to avoid backed up traffic. Detective Gillis was in the middle of the westbound lanes, in full LMPD uniform and a hi-visibility yellow reflective rain jacket," the report reads. 

"Detective Gillis stopped subject and attempted to give instruction. Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground. Detective Gillis suffered pain, swelling, and abrasions to his left wrist and knees. He was transported to the hospital for further medical treatment by emergency medical personnel. Detective Gillis' uniform pants, valued at approximately $80 were damaged beyond repair."

While the details of Scheffler "dragging" the detective to the ground and causing harm to his body are serious implications, the note about Detective Gillis needing a new pair of pants is nothing short of outrageous.

Despite being booked and charged, Scheffler was released shortly after the fact and was able to make it to his 10:08 AM ET tee time on Friday. He made birdie on his opening hole of the day.
