DUBLIN, Ohio — Although he didn’t want to do so, Scottie Scheffler said he was prepared upon the advice of legal counsel to pursue action against the Louisville Police Department if the charges stemming from a traffic incident on May 17 while trying to get to the PGA Championship were not dropped.
Scheffler, who is playing in this week’s Memorial Tournament, spoke publicly Tuesday for the first time since charges were dropped last Thursday. He faced four charges, including one felony, for the incident that occurred outside of Valhalla Golf Club that led to his arrest.
“That was something that if we needed to use it, I think Steve was more than ready to use that, just because, like I said, there was a ton of evidence in our favor,” Scheffler said, referencing his Louisville attorney, Steve Romines. “There was eyewitnesses on the scene that corroborated my story and the video evidence, the police officer talking to me after.
