No doubt there will be a lot of pressure to dismiss everything. But those are some very serious charges. And the injured cop doesn't have to play along. If this was a rich black basketball or football player, everyone would be calling him an entitled thug, why does the rich white country club raised golfer get the benefit of the doubt?


People calling the basketball or football player a thug would be wrong. This has cop got his pride hurt and decided to arrest someone written all over it.


Speak for yourself. Sounds like a rich young prick athlete who thought rules only apply to proles.


I speak for anyone with a brain who has ever worked with cops. This is a classic "you annoyed and embarrassed me so you get nonsense charges for a prosecutor to dismiss later" case.


We get it, you’re white and think blue collar people are beneath you.

When they got to the entrance of the club (this was past the actual accident scene), a bus was stopped and Scottie was behind the bus. The bus door was open and no one was in the driver seat so Scottie drove around the bus to enter the club. The police say they told him to stop, he says he thought the person motioning him to stop was security but since he already had police approval to enter, he kept going. Then a police officer 'attached' himself to the car (words of the journalist who witnessed it) and Scottie drove about 10 yards just inside the club entrance before stopping when something started to bang on his window. He stopped, was dragged out of the car and arrested

He claims it was all a misunderstanding as he had approval to drive there and entre the club and was in a player marked car.


By “journalist” you mean a pro golf groupie reporter who has obvious motive to cozy up to golf’s #1 player instead of defend random blue collar cops in Louisville?


+1. Those reporters are all lapdog toadies for the leagues and big talent agencies that represent all of the pro players. PR flacks essentially.

It was a closed street for a pedestrian FATALITY investigation. You don't get to drive through a fatal CRIME SCENE because you're a pro golfer.


Everyone keeps mentioning the investigation of the pedestrian fatality, but do we know that the players were aware of this? Other players are saying that it is standard practice for players to drive around traffic barriers to enter the grounds, so they might not have known about the investigation.


It doesn’t matter whether or not they were aware of it. Just like you and me, we would have to follow Police direction, which this guy apparently didn’t think applied to him.

And from the video, it does not look like the police knew who they arrested. So he wasn’t getting treated differently because of who he was.


They didn't know who he was but he was in a player marked car and so they knew he was a player. Poor communication between the police at the crime scene who let him through and told him he could enter the club and the police at the club entrance further up the road who didn't get that memo.

Ignorance isn’t an excuse. Sorry. You sound like PR.


Yes, they knew. They (player and journalist in different cars) had already gotten past the accident and had been told by police that they could proceed in the entrance but then this all happened when they got to the actual club entrance. He went around a bus to enter since he had been told he could but a police at the entrance had told him to stop.


Which is it? Was he interfering with a crime scene investigating when he tried to go around the bus, or had he already passed the accident?


He wasn't interfering with a crime scene investigation. This incident with him happened right at the club entrance. He had already passed the crime scene and been permission to continue into the club via the entrance. The video of the arrest is clearly not happening in a crime scene.

Or he didn't know that the police were directing him to do something because they didn't look like police, and the players were told they could drive through.

Based on what the journalist who was there said, they had been instructed to go that way and the road was open for approved persons (including players).

When they got to the entrance of the club (this was past the actual accident scene), a bus was stopped and Scottie was behind the bus. The bus door was open and no one was in the driver seat so Scottie drove around the bus to enter the club. The police say they told him to stop, he says he thought the person motioning him to stop was security but since he already had police approval to enter, he kept going. Then a police officer 'attached' himself to the car (words of the journalist who witnessed it) and Scottie drove about 10 yards just inside the club entrance before stopping when something started to bang on his window. He stopped, was dragged out of the car and arrested

He claims it was all a misunderstanding as he had approval to drive there and entre the club and was in a player marked car.
