Question for the resident LEO's here at F16:

Is jumping on a car in this situation like a normal procedure and directive that they were trained to do?

I'm just having a hard time believing that cops are directed to jump on a car for something as minor as someone trying to go around the incident.

---

Jumping on a moving vehicle is against our general orders. If that is in fact what this officer did, he is not too bright. I think ultimately you will see Sheffield plead guilty to the traffic ticket offense. The other two will be dropped.

JMO, Louisville PD would be well served to use market squad cars at events like this. If he claimed they look like security guards, who is to argue?

---

He should plead to nothing.

---

Yup.

Sounds like this guy was a detective that was pissed because he got put on traffic duty at 5am.

---

He is an accident scene investigator, hence the "detective" part. It's an important role, occasionally, when facts are in dispute. Seems he wasn't needed here, though, so he ends up playing crossing guard.

The cops here, as they often do, seemed to want an insane perimeter around the actual accident scene, which was nowhere close to where Scheffler got arrested.

Example: there was an officer involved shooting in my neighborhood last fall. Dude was terrorizing his former live-in companion (i.e., "babymama"), struck her vehicle with his car, brandished a weapon, and knocked out her car window with a crowbar. Cop shows up and orders him to stop, so natch he pulls out his gun and shoots the cop, who then shoots him in the head. GAME OVER.

Whole thing was over in 30 seconds, so the scene investigators shut down multiple city blocks for NINE HOURS while at least 25 cops stood guard living they best life, getting paid overtime for doing a whole lot of not jack squat.

I was playing in a poker game in Temple, TX a few years back. The game was robbed. 2 guys with guns. Not fun.

The person who ran the game called the cops. Talk about ridiculous... 14 cops at midnight on a Friday all gathered around the house for hours.

Only thing missing was donuts.

Sounds like an inside job

Car surfing cop's body camera wasn't turned on. Shocking.

If the prosecutor doesn't drop all charges, I hope Scheffler tells them to pound sand on any deal to plead to a lesser charge.

---

As I understand it, he was working an extra job. In other words, he was working security for the golf tournament. Hence why a detective might be directing cars rather than solving crime. If that is the case, he should have been helping the players, not barking commands and diving on hoods. Also, a witness reported that he tried to a) break the driver side window with his flashlight, and b) pull Scheffler out of the window once he rolled it down. This Gillis fellow seems like a complete idiot who embarrassed himself, his department, his profession, his town, his state and the golf tournament.

Yeah it looks like the cop was having a bad day and took it out on a driver.

Unfortunately that driver happened to be the top golfer in the country and now the cop's name is all over the news.

Oops NSFW language.

We're pretty sure it was.

Dude tried to bust the window out a marked PGA courtesy vehicle at 5am.

I heard a version of events where Scheffler was asked to get out of the car, and instead began driving off. Also, that he drove off the road in the median….?

Will definitely have to see what facts come to light. He may have been clearly in the wrong,

No body cam?

Yea right.

He forgot to hit it before he dove on the hood.

What do we know for certain right now? Do we know if he dove on the hood? Do we know if he was on or off duty?

Supposedly surveillance cam caught it from across the street but they're not releasing that right now.

I must have missed it. What was Tiger arrested for?

found on google...


Tiger Woods was arrested on DUI charges in Jupiter, Florida, during the early hours of May 29, 2017. Officers discovered him asleep in the driver's seat of his Mercedes-Benz. He had parked the car just a short distance from his Florida residence.

Seems like in any other universe the chief and mayor would simply apologize, nullify the arrest and this incident would quietly fade away.

Jefferson County prosecutors were planning, "as of now," to drop the charges, No Laying Up reported Sunday, citing a source "familiar with the office's thinking."

Yep, no loss there. I believe it was also the same department who had the guy put on the tactical training video behind the planter when killing the democrat mass shooter in that glassed in lobby.

When Scheffler stopped the car, Wischusen said Gillis was visibly upset. "He runs up to the driver's side, and with the butt end of his flashlight starts screaming, you know, 'Get out of the car, get out of the car' - banging on the window - 'shut the engine off, get out of the car. I'm a police officer.'"

The driver "peacefully" exited the car, Wischusen said, at which point the officer "put him up against the car and put him in handcuffs."
…
The mood in the back of the SUV as the passengers watched this unfathomable scene playing out in front of them? Shock, Wischusen said. "Exactly what you would imagine," he said. "The number one player in the world just got arrested trying to go into the gate at the golf course. I mean, you know, like, what just happened? Did we really just see what we just saw?"

Arraignment pushed to June 3rd.
