PGA Star ‘Will Not Be Present’ at Court Hearing Over Viral Championship Arrest, ‘Dragging’ Police Officer

The golfer reportedly thought the commands were coming from club security and drove 10 yards after being told to stop. He was accused of “dragging” Louisville Detective Bryan Gillis with his car, causing Gillis to be hospitalized with “pain, swelling, and abrasions to his left wrist and knee,” according to the police report.

Scheffler was booked on four charges: felony second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals from an officer, police said.

The Jefferson County Attorney’s Office told RadarOnline.com that Scheffler would be absent from a hearing on the matter scheduled for Wednesday, May 29.
