He DIDN’T say, “Do you know who I am?” That’s refreshing! Good for him.

Dude gets arrested by an overzealous cop on a genuine misunderstanding, goes to jail, gets out,goes BACK to the tournament and proceeds to birdie the 1st hole. What a stud.

A uniformed police officer told him drive and to do what he did and a detective in plain clothes did not know what was going on and lost his mind and decided to make things worse. It's possible that Scheffler thought it was a fan attacking his car or something.

Unidentifiable cop, that's the problem

He makes his tee time? Hell, I'd still be sitting in jail.

They really need to drop this one. Cops looking stupid.

I've had this happen to me . A fireman waved me through only to be accosted by a policeman.

Let me get this straight; a uniformed cop tells Scheffler to drive on through; then an a plain clothed cop stops him and attaches himself to Scheffler's car. Scheffler is charged with a felony? If charges aren't dropped, I smell a lawsuit.

A person in a yellow rain cote jumped onto the car of a sports star. I wouldn’t have stoped either

looks stormy and raining, i'd like to see the bodycam footage.

Maybe he never watched Chris Rock's video on how to behave around police officers.

Hospitalized for a bruised ego in a situation he caused

Why was the officer (detective) stupid enough to "attach himself to his car"???? Since when is a bus accident a "crime scene"?

Another example of the overwhelming power hungry police officers in this country

"The officer attached himself to Scheffler's car." The cop in this case is a power hungry pyscho by that statement alone.

Sounds like the cop has a big ego

If you’re stupid enough to “attach” yourself to the outside of a car, Darwin is calling your name.

He was a victim of “Cop Ego”… “Cop Ego” is dangerous for anyone who encounters it.

The cop thought he was going to open the door... BUT DOORS AUTO LOCK! you would never know someone grabbed your door handle in that situation.

That department has a bad history of paying lawsuits for excessive use of force & unlawful arrests by the way 😮

This is the usual cop. They lose control in a chaotic scene because they unprepared and poorly trained and then resort to violence and arrests for petty things. For Scottie it is not a big deal but for working people these charges can lead to being fired not to mention legal fees and battles.

It’s hard to call it assault when someone intentionally grabs and holds on to a moving car. Proving that Scottie intended to harm the guy will be impossible. No prosecutor in their right mind will want to take this case.

His body language and tone of voice indicates he’s telling the truth. He was on his way to the game. Total misunderstanding.

Note to self - nobody except the Incredible Hulk whoops a car!

Louisville you can rest easy. The dangerous golfer has been taken off the street

Cop's have a huge superiority complex. These ego's need to be reigned in.

He should have shouted free Palestine then they probably would have let him drive right Through 🇺🇸😄

They were told to let the mark PGA courtesy cars thru. You know this cop was some power trip clown. Im done with backing the blue.

police over-reaction- then because of their ego they had to charge a FELONY? AYFKM?!

Nobody will book their event in Kentucky after this

The defective interjected himself into the scene without investigating. Had he, he would known that the pga pros (with the cars marked pga tour courtesy vehicle) were the only ones with permission to pass the course gates.

The police did not have police labeled safety jackets.

Why do cops grab on to a 1 ton energized piece of steel? To trump up the charges?

Sounds to me like this was instigated by the police and the officer that jumped on his car and pulled him from the car should be charged with property damage and assault. The guy was trying to go to work and these officers sound like the they can’t handle high pressure situations and should find another line of work.

PGA should never go back there if charges aren’t dropped.

That’s the cops for you. Escalate, intimidate, humiliate, extort, and lie. I’ve never seen a cop be useful.

There might be missing context here. A reporter from ESPN allegedly was there when it all happened. The officer was "dragged" about 10 yards going 10-15 mph the reporter. Supposedly, Scottie didn't know the cop was on his car. He rolled the window down himself. Lasted probably 3 seconds.

I like how you left out the part when another officer was directing him to move. You cut off the beginning audio

He should wear orange on Sunday

Show us the body cam footage otherwise we know who in the wrong.

Actually, I'll wait to reserve my opinion until all information, and the body cam video, are released.

I don’t know about who said what to who but if you grab a moving vehicle and you get hurt, that’s your fault

Why did the cop attach himself to the car without identifying himself.

SHEFFLER TELL THEM YOU IDENTIFY AS A BLIND MAN

Looking forward to seeing the police body cam video on Lackluster soon. lol

Apparently the cop’s body cam was off too lol

If he was an illegal they wouldn’t even book him!

Conservative activist’s son sentenced to nearly 4 years in prison for ‘relentless’ attack on Capitol Leo Brent Bozell IV was among the first rioters to enter the Capitol

Cops have way to much power

Today was the second round of the tournament. Prior to this there are practice rounds. This could be the 4th day in a row he’s driven to the course. The instructions they’ve been given for entering is to flash your pass to the person and continue driving in. On this morning there had been an accident so there was a lot going on and he tried to follow those same instructions and not contribute to the chaos. And then the rest happened.

Listen, it comes down to do what you are told...don't drive through a police scene at an accident.

My thought: extra pay job for a "detective "; in addition to a 40+ hour work week. Bet the detective/ arresting officer has excellent report writing skills. To predict the future; as the judge intimated: knock down the felony and settle for 1 or 2 misdemeanor charges. Community service in Louisville KY for 200 hours plus $$$ penalty & pay court costs. IF THIS DOES NOT SETTLE, big bucks lawyers will [ 1 ] try the case with a jury OR [2] FRY the arresting officer in front of a jury during trial. ** same strategy as O.J' s trial. Smear & begrudge the detective with firing cross examination. We'll C.

I want the personnel file of the cop made public. I bet there is a history of abuse. It’s a marked courtesy car only issued to players and officials. How could the cop not know that?

Just another example of law enforcement incompetence

Why is judge Jeanine making excuses for this golfer? This happens all the time and she never defends anyone that's arrested for dragging a police officer with their car.

ESPN was there and said he drove up on the median to go around the cop and traffic after he was told to stop

I suspect the PGA has had a very nice discussion with Valhalla and how they will never darken the doors of their club in the future. The USGA and others will follow.

Gutfeld always gives Jesse so much grief 😭😭 lol 😂

If he worked in McDonald's would it be ok?

He's not a common person, so let him free. Now, if that guy had been a worker or a peasant, then going to jail could be justified.

Lets wait till we get more information

The police department and prosecutors office is now learning exactly what power and privilege is all about. Already talking about dropping all charges. No way they prosecute.

A perfect example of why I don't back the blue.

‘The Five’ we are now TMZ

Is the officer’s fault he shouldn’t have grabbed onto the car he should’ve got the plate information and dealt with it. Then he put himself in the situation.

He probably just thought the road was closed for the tournament and he’s use to going around the barricades to get to work.

Scotty should have said i cant breathe

I'm Scottie is a very nice guy and said he didn't know the person was a cop, but JC who did you think was coming to your car in a yellow vest in the middle of a traffic accident with cop cars and lights flashing all over the place , a valet parking attendant

All the blue lights wasnt a sign that you need to stop and at least ask why?

OMG the 3rd guy talking cracking joke after joke. EPIC!!! 😂

No body cam ? How convenient for the foolish officer

MARTHA STEWART THINKS THE PGA IS TRASH

If Scottie is a Republican then that 1 felony count will magically turn into 91 before he knows it.... 🤣🤣

Officer attacks car, and is surprised it isn't soft and fluffy.

Leave it to Louisville to make a bad situation worse…LMPD is a joke. All charges will be dismissed. The fatality and this incident on the same road but NOT the same place

it didn't know the person directing the traffic was a cop, so did it think the guy in a bright yellow jacket was car jacker and/or did it think it'd be okay to drag a civilian crossing guard...?

According to jenine its the cops fault.

The police officers body camera wasn’t on, how convenient

Scottie is a class act. The Louisvilile Police force has been put in a bad place. Where they were before this even happened.

" I cant help but feel this is all, somehow, Trump's fault " --- Rachel Madcow

The cop shouldn't have "attached himself" to the man's car, and maybe don't be undercover working a traffic scene!

Why did the editors edit out Scotty's remorse and concern for the victim of the fatality?

Who tackles a car?

First there was "I didn't know it was a fire alarm." Now it's " I didn't know it was a police officer." Pretty Amazing!

It was the yellow jacket…..crap….he didn’t want to comply with instruction like so many others.

SHEFFLER TELL THE COURTS U THOUGHT HE WAS JUST SECURITY

Sounds obvious what type of trip this "detective" was on.

The Five is most enjoyable with Harold on as the democrat. He is the most reasonable democrat on the show.

Cops bet against Scottie so trying to make it happen

There is normally a big security operation at golf events private and local authorities i guess Scottie didn't realise there was a operation at the time separately of police responding to a incident on a public road ?

The cop jumped onto his car, his injuries was his own fault, this actually illustrates how some tough on crime legislation from the 90's has led to cops being able to wreck your life, because cops can literally put their bodies in your way, get "injured 🤭" and charge a normal person with a felony. I personally believe the cop didn't know he was dealing with a big time golfer and decided to jump on his car, knowing he could wreck this guy's life by the charges he's going to drop on him afterwards, especially if he couldn't afford a real lawyer and now he's probably sweating buckets, because he knows the local system won't dare to play the games in favor of the cops with this level of scrutiny; therfore its not going to hold up in court and because "if nothing else" for agreed insurance reasons alone, he actually probably broke department policy by jumping on that car, and because of the scrutiny, internal affairs this time, is going to actually follow the actual policy and law on the matter, which means he is possibly going to get suspended for acting like a fool.

So its ok cause he plays golf?

The police officer wanted Scottie Scheffler's autograph. No way would Scottie ever hurt an officer.

Scottie needed to stop and identify himself, no harm in arriving to the track 5 minutes later. And the officer was crazy to hold onto the vehicle. Just a bizarre situation that will get resolved

Dumb cops think trying to grab onto car or perp through the window, dumb, doesn't work, just gets you on disability

The cop can't do that so it's going to get all tossed out. He can't put himself In Harm's Way and then claim assault on a police officer.

KZfaq won't let me post a link so here is the ESPN story. Police: Officer dragged trying to stop Scottie Scheffler's car Mark Schlabach, ESPN Senior Writer: May 17, 2024, 11:59 AM ET LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The police officer who attempted to stop world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler from entering Valhalla Golf Club on Friday morning was dragged to the ground and suffered "pain, swelling and abrasions" to his left wrist and knee after Scheffler's car accelerated, according to an incident report released by the Louisville Metro Police Department. The report, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN, said detective Bryan Gillis, identified as Det. Gillis in the report, was directing traffic at Shelbyville Road near Gate 1 of Valhalla Golf Club, the site of this week's PGA Championship. Traffic outside the golf course had been stopped after a man was struck and killed by a shuttle bus around 5 a.m. ET. The report said Gillis was standing in the middle of the westbound lanes when Scheffler's SUV pulled into the lanes to avoid the traffic backup The report said Gillis was wearing a full police uniform and a "high-visibility yellow reflective rain jacket." The World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler was arrested Friday morning and charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and not following police directions. Getty Images Gillis stopped Scheffler's SUV and attempted to give instructions, according to the report. "The subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground," the report said. Gillis was transported to a hospital by emergency medical personnel for evaluation. The report said his uniform pants were also damaged beyond repair. Scheffler faces charges of second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic. The assault charge is a felony; the others are misdemeanors. An arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday at 9 a.m. ET. Maj. Jason Logsdon of the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections told ESPN that Scheffler was released at 8:40 a.m. ET Friday without bail. He arrived at Valhalla less than an hour before he was scheduled to tee off at 10:08 a.m. ET. Scheffler shot a 5-under 66 on Friday to move into a tie for third place on the leaderboard. "This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers," Scheffler said in a statement. "It was a very chaotic situation, understandably so considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do. I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I'm hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today. "Of course, all of us involved in the tournament express our deepest sympathies to the family of the man who passed away in the earlier accident this morning. It truly puts everything in perspective." According to ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington, who witnessed the incident, Scheffler was trying to drive around the crash scene. At one point, according to Darlington, Gillis attached himself to the side of Scheffler's car. Scheffler stopped his car as he turned into the entrance of Valhalla Golf Club. After about 20 to 30 seconds, Scheffler rolled down his window to talk to the officer. The officer grabbed Scheffler's arm to pull him out of the vehicle, according to Darlington. The officer reached inside the vehicle to open the door, and once Scheffler was pulled out, he was pushed against the car and placed in handcuffs. Darlington was standing at the entrance when Scheffler was detained. Darlington said Scheffler turned to him and asked, "Can you help?" According to Darlington, an officer instructed him to back away. "Our primary concern today remains with the family of John Mills, who lost his life in a tragic accident early this morning while reporting to work," said the PGA of America in a statement. "As it relates to the incident involving Scottie Scheffler, we are fully cooperating as local authorities review what took place. While the legal process plays out, questions should be directed to Scheffler's attorney or local authorities." Scheffler's attorney, Steven Romines, told ESPN that the golfer attempted to enter Valhalla Golf Club as he had been instructed to earlier, unaware there had been a fatal wreck just up the road. "He was going into Valhalla to work out," Romines said. "He was getting ready for his tee time. They were directing traffic. He held his credential out and was going in like they'd been instructed to. Apparently, there had been a traffic accident, maybe even a fatality, down the road, and that had changed the traffic patterns, and he was unaware of that." Romines, speaking outside the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections, said the officer who attempted to stop Scheffler wasn't part of the regular event-traffic detail at Valhalla Golf Club, "so that's where the miscommunication arose." "They are allowed to go through, that's why they have the credential and the wave-through," Romines said. "[Scheffler] was unaware there had been a wreck, and he proceeded like they'd been instructed to. He did exactly as he was instructed to enter the premises." Romines said Scheffler would cooperate fully with police, and "we'll deal with it as it progresses." "This morning, our city experienced a tragic accident that took the life of John Mills, a Louisvillian who will be greatly missed by his family and our community. Our focus is on this family who lost their loved one. I have spoken with members of Mr. Mills' family to convey our city's condolences," said Louisville mayor Craig Greenberg in a statement. "Following this tragedy, LMPD stopped traffic to assist with its investigation into the fatal accident. It is unfortunate that an incident took place between an LMPD officer and Mr. Scheffler while he was attempting to enter Valhalla. LMPD is fully investigating this incident and the legal process will proceed. We appreciate everyone's cooperation. "We remain focused on the tragic loss of life and will share more information on both of these matters as available."

@Greg... Nobody got your hilarious minilog Ha Ha.. You guys are the best. Bravo. X PS: Please consider having a live audience for The Five.

When approached by a cop you do as he/she says

When there are a massive amount of first responders in one location along with the road blocked off, you don't take it upon yourself to just assume you can bypass everyone on the friggin median. This man may be able to play golf but has very little common sense. The right thing to do would have been to stop, tell an officer who you are, and then be shown where they were allowing players to drive through. I have zero sympathy for him. I don't know why the cop grabbed onto his car. He should have gotten the plate and sent a free officer after him.
