Agree. What on earth are they thinking?

Gillis’ official police officer photo shows him with a big smirk on his face.

This cop is a clown. Where is the poster who has been crying about reckless driving and obeying the law now?

The Louisville Metro Police officer who arrested golf superstar Scottie Scheffler is facing further scrutiny as a report reveals he was once suspended for doing donuts in his police cruiser with a drunk civilian.

Unfathomable to me that the Louisville Police Dept didn’t quietly drop the charges when they could have and are instead doubling down.

The police officer who put world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler in handcuffs has a lengthy disciplinary record that includes at least one suspension, employment records revealed on Thursday.

Detective Bryan Gillis took Scheffler into custody a week ago Friday when the golfer sought to enter Valhalla Golf Club as police investigated a nearby fatal accident.


Scheffler has maintained he was following police directions on how to drive into the club. But arresting police said Scheffler did not follow directions.

Further complicating the matter, city officials said Detective Gillis did not activate his body worn camera when he encountered Scheffler.

The only footage, so far, appears to come from a squad car dashboard camera and a roadside pole and both sets of video don't clearly show what led to Scheffler being placed in handcuffs.

Louisville Metro Police Department released that footage and personnel records of Gillis on Thursday.


Gillis was suspended for five days for "conduct unbecoming" for driving "an intoxicated civilian in your police vehicle" and "proceeding to doing 'donuts' in a business parking lot," according to a Sept. 18. 2013 memo by then-Chief Steve Conrad.

He was also disciplined for pursuing "a vehicle that did not commit a violent felony or wanted on a warrant," according to a June 9, 2021 memo by then-Chief Erika Shields.

Officer Gillis was found "at fault" for accidents on May 22, 2021 and Aug. 6, 2019 that led to oral reprimands.

Gillis was also found to be "at fault" for a Dec. 1, 2013 accident that led to an oral reprimand and mandatory driver's training.

He did, however, receive a commendation for being among seven officers who went "above and beyond" the call of duty in a "high-intensity traffic enforcement detail" that "culminated in you issuing a staggering 108 citations (114 charges, 1 DUI arrest) out of 201 citations issued during the four-hour operational period" on Sept. 16, 2021.

A representative of the River City Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 614, the union that would represent LMPD detectives, could not be immediately reached for comment on Thursday.

NBC said the arresting officer has been suspended in the past. Looking more and more like a cop on a power trip.

The cop lied on his police report.

The golfer followed the lawful direction of the cops in charge of traffic. An investigator got involved, overreacted, lied on a police report, falsely arrested someone.

People are being thrown off by his rank. Detective. He was not part of the investigation. He was doing traffic in uniform.

That was not the crime scene. Crime scene was further down the street. You make it sound like he drove through all the CSI people. That was no where near where the incident took place.

Cop lied. He fell. There should never have been an arrest here at all. This will all go away.

Scheffler will never sue the cop or the police force, and Valhalla is an iconic course that will stay in the rotation for the PGA.

C’mon.

NP. I don't know. After watching the clearer, second video, I would find a way to punish the cop, the prosecutor and the golf course for not having protected the players. This is blatant police overreach by what must be a hot-head cop who is doubling down with lying in hopes of getting the golfer to give in. I would like to see this cop's record. And I am a supporter of the police, just not power-trip guys of any stripe.

Why didn't the detective turn on his body cam? You seem to be a stickler for rules. Is the detective also above the law?

DP. He's been "disciplined" for that. But they aren't going to drop the charges because they respect the judicial process. Srsly?

Seems like an overzealous prosecutor wants to make sure his name and face is associated with this. Seems legit. Seeking his 5 mins of fame.

If I'm Scheffler, I'm donating a million to a PAC opposing that prosecutor in every race he ever runs in.

He's too nice of a guy to do that. This was the wrong guy to try to make an example out of but they sure seem to be trying.

The best part of this is golf fans are among the most blue lives matter crowd in the country and they now have video evidence of a pig blatantly lying about a popular golfer and a prosecutor refusing to drop charges.

I hope it goes to trial, verdict is innocent, bad cop is sued personally for false arrest, and the PGA going forward drops Valhalla as a tournament site.

Does he think this is a normal broke guy who will plead to get out of pre-trial detention? I'm sure that's what they're used to dealing with. If he doesn't drop it, then the cop is going to either admit to lying in an official report on the stand, take the 5th, or lie again with the video being played
