LOUISVILLE, Ky.
— The Kentucky police officer who arrested top-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler outside the PGA Championship is receiving “corrective action” for not having his body-worn camera activated when he approached the golfer's vehicle — an interaction that allegedly resulted in the officer being dragged to the ground, authorities said Thursday.
Another video released by authorities comes from a police vehicle dashcam and shows Scheffler in handcuffs as he is escorted by officers. The city's police chief noted that the department's officers are expected to maintain their body-worn cameras in a “constant state of operational readiness.” Gwinn-Villaroel said he"received corrective action" for the violation. The document released Thursday said Gillis completed a"failure to record" form as required by policy, and was “counseled by a member of his command” and a “performance observation” was completed.
Gillis, who approached Scheffler’s car on foot, wrote in an arrest report that Scheffler “refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging” Gillis to the ground. Gillis said his uniform pants were damaged in the fall and he was taken to the hospital for his injuries.
