Nonetheless, if that did happen, it looks like it would have been right before this, because he's running from behind and clearly pissed off.

Thursday's Louisville Metro Police Department news dump on their arrest of PGA golfer Scottie Scheffler last week began with spokesperson Sgt. Matt Sanders giving a quick plan for "today's run of show." The mayor would talk. The police chief would talk. No questions would be taken at the lectern. All questions were to be emailed afterward to the public information office. And at the end, several documents and videos would be released on LMPD's "forward-facing transparency page," a.k.a. a website. (Documents from the arresting officer's personnel file later would be published by WDRB journalist Jason Riley; more on that later.)

Later that day, WDRB's Jason Riley shared snippets from Gillis's personnel file, including that Gillis once was suspended for five days for doing donuts while on duty in his police car, with a drunk civilian passenger.

I also wonder if they were able to interview witnesses who did not see what the police report stated. You've got at least a half dozen vehicles right there with nothing to do but stare out their window.

I'm also a little curious why no one from the media was able to dig around on that front. Or that no one that saw it go down posted on social media or something.

Just an odd situation all around.

there was a widely-shared interview with ESPN's Bob Wischusen about what he saw from inside the car that Jeff Darlington was in

That is a pretty safe spot for most golfers.
