All Four Charges Against Scottie Scheffler Dismissed

May 29, 2024, 05:24 PM

All criminal charges against Scottie Scheffler, the world's top golfer, have been dismissed. Scheffler was arrested outside the PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, on May 17. The charges included second-degree assault of a police officer. Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell stated that the evidence did not meet the probable cause standard, and the characterization of the incident as a 'big misunderstanding' was corroborated by the evidence. The dismissal ends a legal saga that began with images of Scheffler being arrested and handcuffed outside Valhalla Golf Club. The charges included four counts.
