Charges dropped against golfer Scottie Scheffler after traffic incident

All charges have been dismissed against star golfer Scottie Scheffler, who was arrested while in Louisville, Kentucky, for the PGA Championship earlier this month.

Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell addressed the court Wednesday on a motion to dismiss the charges after he said his office conducted a “thorough” review of the case and could not proceed with the prosecution.

Scheffler’s characterization of the incident as a “big misunderstanding” was “corroborated by the evidence” and his actions “do not satisfy the elements of any criminal offenses,” O’Connell said.

Judge Anne Delahanty approved the motion during the brief court appearance. Scheffler’s attorney, Steve Romines, did not address the court.
