Can't think of a more interesting way to kick off this thread than this morning's events at Valhalla.

Louisville police? Mistaken identity? overaggressive response? Filing charges to cover themselves? I'm surprised.

Both?  It was very early in the morning and seems the golfer was not notified of any route changes. Is it standard procedure for police to try and stop a car by hanging onto it?  Seems ill advised.

So Scheffler shoots a 66 after getting out of jail. Not bad.

The mayor’s statement was a train wreck. Scheffler’s lawyer made the cops look incompetent. I’m sure the DA can’t wait to quietly drop the charges on them

Per Follow the Money, a sports betting show, the security officers directing players and visitors for the Louisville PGA have all been wearing bright yellow jackets, just like the cops wore. Scheffler might not have realized the difference. Another cop reportedly told Scheffler to drive around the accident scene, which he did.

The asshats who detained him will probably do traffic control for the rest of their careers. Especially the jackass cop who didn't like being taped by ESPN, saying "He's going to jail!"

If the PGA moves the tournament to another venue, those cops should plan on being fired. the PGA should say, "FIRE those cops or we will move this tournament elsewhere!" Thousand of people watch those matches and it brings in lottsa $$$.

The video is out. The LEO lied in the police report.

Louisville's DA needs to drop this case and issue an apology ASAP.

They need to charge the cop with falsifying an official record

If anyone wants to see a spectacular display of incompetence by the Louisville DA

I guess it's now the DA's position that a continuance should never be granted without cause. That's a bold move if they're as over worked as most DAs

Sheffler has a deal with the Louisville PD. All charges dropped in exchange for neither side pursuing any lawsuits.
