As Breaking Celebrity News reported, Detective Gillisā statement came shortly after the LMPD dropped four charges against Scheffler.
The two-time Masters champion was arrested outside the PGA Championship earlier this month after there was confusion over traffic flow as police investigated the scene where an individual was struck and killed by a shuttle bus.

All four of the charges against Scheffler were officially dismissed.

Scheffler was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding signals from officers directing traffic.
All four charges were officially dismissed on Wednesday afternoon by Jefferson County Attorney Mike OāConnell.
āI wish to put this incident behind me and move on, and I hope he will do the same,ā Scheffler wrote in a statement of his own after the charges were dropped. āPolice officers have a difficult job and I hold them in high regard.ā
āThis was a severe miscommunication in a chaotic situation,ā the two-time Masters champion added.
