Earlier this month, PGA Tour superstar Scottie Scheffler was arrested outside of Valhalla Golf Club as he tried to enter the club to play in the second round of the PGA Championship. After the charges were dropped and Scheffler made it clear that he had “no ill will” toward the arresting officer, the officer has now expressed a similar sentiment to Scheffler.
On Wednesday, Detective Bryan Gillis released a statement to Scottie Scheffler in which he makes it clear he has no hard feelings toward Scheffler going forward.
“This was a chaotic situation for everyone involved. Ensuring the safety of everyone in the vicinity was my utmost priority,” Gillis said in his statement. “Mr. Scheffler and I both agree that there will be no ill will over this going forward. Instead of giving a negative public reaction, he chose to speak with dignity, humility, and respect. My family and I appreciate that.
Gillis simply wants to move on from the incident.
“At the end of the day, I take pride in working for the people in the community to preserve their safety. I’ve spent two decades trying to protect this city through some challenging times. And I would like to keep doing so without the distractions caused by this series of events,” Gillis continued. “I wish Scottie Scheffler and his family all the best.”
