Louisville Police Chief announces discipline for Scottie Scheffler arresting officer, reason for no body camera footage
In a brief media briefing Thursday morning, Louisville police chief Jackie Gwinn-Villaroel said the officer who arrested Scottie Scheffler was disciplined for not turning on his body camera.
Villaroel told reporters: “Detective (Bryan) Gillis should have turned on his body-worn camera, but did not. His failure to do so is a violation of the LMPD policy on uniforms and equipment . . . He was performing a law-enforcement action as defined in our policy. . . . We understand the seriousness of the failure to capture this interaction, which is why our officer has received corrective action for this policy violation.”
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said that there is footage from two video cameras. There is a clip from a dash cam of a police car and one that was taken by a camera atop a poll across the street from where the arrest took place.
The Louisville police chief did not take questions at the media briefing.
Scheffler will return to Louisville for a hearing June 3. He’s currently back home in Texas competing at The Charles Schwab Challenge at the Colonial Golf Club in Fort Worth. Scheffler is set to tee off at 12:45 p.m. Eastern.
This is a breaking news story with more details to come.
