Louisville officer who arrested Scottie Scheffler previously suspended for driving ‘donuts’ in business parking lot – Washington Examiner

Detective Bryan Gillis, the officer who arrested the world’s No. 1 golfer, Scottie Scheffler, has a history of misconduct during his time on the police force.
In 2013, Gillis was suspended for five days after driving an intoxicated civilian in his police vehicle and “proceeding to doing ‘donuts’ in a business parking lot,” according to a memo by then-Chief Steve Conrad.
Later that year, Gillis was found to be “at fault” in an accident, leading to an oral reprimand and mandatory driver’s training.
On Aug. 6, 2019, and May 22, 2021, Gillis was again found “at fault” for accidents and was orally reprimanded.
According to a June 9, 2021, memo by then-Chief Erika Shields, Gillis was disciplined for pursuing a “vehicle that did not commit a violent felony or wanted on a warrant.”
Gillis was also placed on one-day suspensions in 2010 and 2011 for failing to show up to court, and he got a four-day suspension in 2012 for missing additional court appearances.
Gillis gained national attention after arresting Schleffler on May 17 outside of the Valhalla Golf Club hours before his tee time on the second day of the PGA Championship.
Scheffler was charged with felony second-degree assault on a police officer.
Gillis alleges that Scheffler did not follow instructions on how to enter the golf club as police were investigating the site of a nearby fatal accident.
Gillis motioned for Scheffler to exit his vehicle and immediately put the golfer in handcuffs.
According to the report, an altercation ensued.

“Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground,” the report reads. “The detective suffered pain, swelling and abrasions to his left wrist and knee and was taken to the hospital for further treatment.” His uniform pants, valued at about $80, “were damaged beyond repair,” according to the report.
Gillis did not activate his body-worn camera during his encounter with Scheffler. The only footage from the incident comes from a squad car dashboard and roadside pole, but neither shows the arrest of Scheffler nor the beginning of the interaction. Louisville Metro Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel announced that Gillis was given disciplinary action for failing to activate his body camera.
Louisville police release videos of Scottie Scheffler’s arrest and discipline detective for not activating body-worn camera

Louisville police released two videos Thursday showing some of the arrest of star golfer Scottie Scheffler last week and announced the detective who arrested him was disciplined for not turning on his body-worn camera at the time.
One video from a fixed pole camera positioned across the street shows portions of the interaction between Scheffler and police. In the video, a vehicle turns left and an officer wearing reflective gear runs toward the vehicle, which then stops. Police then take the driver out of the car and a group of three people walk across the street.
A second video from a police vehicle’s dashcam shows two officers walking with a handcuffed Scheffler.
The videos were released a week after Scheffler was arrested, charged with felony assault, released from jail and then made his tee time in a whirlwind few hours at the PGA Championship, one of golf’s four major tournaments.
The world no. 1 golfer was attempting to drive to the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville for the second round of the tournament at about 6 a.m. when he came to the scene of a fatal crash. He allegedly injured a police officer who was directing traffic and was arrested, according to police.
Scheffler, 27, a new father with a sterling reputation, was charged with felony second-degree assault on a police officer, along with lesser charges of third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from officers directing traffic, according to Jefferson County court records.
After taking a mugshot and warming up in a jail cell, he was released and made it to his tee time at the golf club. He then shot 5-under that day on his way to finishing the tournament in a tie for 8th place.
Scheffler described the incident as a “big misunderstanding” during a “chaotic situation.”
After the news conference Thursday, Scheffler’s attorney, Steve Romines, reiterated the golfer still plans to plead not guilty to the charges.
“It won’t impact my case at all. Our position is the same as it was last Friday: Scottie Scheffler didn’t do anything wrong. We’re not interested in settling the case.
