• A Louisville, Kentucky, police detective violated department policy by not turning on his body camera while arresting golf champion Scottie Scheffler, the city's police chief said.

A Louisville, Kentucky, police detective violated department policy by not activating his body camera during his controversial arrest of Scottie Scheffler last week when the top-ranked golfer was trying to drive into the PGA Championship venue, the city's police chief said Thursday.

Detective Bryan Gillis "should have turned on his body-worn camera but did not," Louisville Metro Police Department Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said at a press conference.

"This officer has received corrective action for this policy violation" because of the seriousness of the violation, Gwinn-Villaroel said.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg at the press conference announced the release of video footage from the Friday morning incident showing the moments after Gillis arrested the 27-year-old Scheffler for allegedly assaulting him with his car as the golfer drove around other vehicles.

The footage came from a pole camera and a police car dashboard camera.

The video from the pole camera shows Gillis running after Scheffler's car as it slowly turns from behind several large vehicles, the detective slamming his hand or arm against the golfer's car, and Scheffler immediately stopping. Gillis and other cops then pulled him out and placed him into handcuffs about 50 seconds later.
