Nearly two weeks have passed since Scottie Scheffler was arrested before the second round of the 2024 PGA Championship. The golfer was charged with a felony second-degree assault of a police officer, among several other charges. On Wednesday, new video of the arrest came to light.
The video contains audio of Schefter in a police car after he was arrested by Louisville Metro Police. It was posted to Facebook by Maxwell Mitchell, who lists himself as the founder of an organization called Flipping The Seen as well as the CEO and Founder of Maxwellsounds, described as a music social network. It is unclear how the video was obtained but the speaker is undoubtedly Scheffler, who is captured explaining his side of what happened in front of Valhalla Golf Club that allegedly led to the police officer's injuries and his arrest.
A video on Facebook since May 23 captures Scottie Scheffler's conversation in police car after arrest. "You're right, I should have stopped. I did get a little impatient because I'm quite late for my tee time." Cop says he "drug" and "hurt" officer. https://t.co/R4YtBZ2Wg3 pic.twitter.com/IosEtwj2tZ
