Can someone give me cliffs notes on this?

Somebody is lying because those are incredibly significant charges for a simple misunderstanding.

We do have a thread for this sort of thing if it's just some cop gone nuts.

He was in a marked car, but who cares who he is, it’s a completely unwarranted and dangerous response to the situation. The cop is the only one that put anyone in danger. Luckily it was just his dumbass that got some scratches.
Hey!! He lost an $80 pair of pants as a result of the first step of Scottie's multi state crime spree...

Evidence points to a minor traffic violation by Scottie caused due to a misunderstanding. Then the situation was escalated by law enforcement.

Most posters agree on that. Some posters are giving law enforcement the benefit of a doubt. One poster is straight up making **** up.

It's short on real details at this point, but as best as I can tell from what I've accumulated, there was a fatal accident a couple hours before the round, the PGA was in contact with Louisville PD about how to deal with it. Scottie (in a marked official PGA vehicle) was allegedly told by an officer or security staff that he could bypass the traffic jam. Another cop in question apparently wanted Scottie to stop, and in the confusion, he kept going and the cop spidermanned Scottie's car (apparently roughing up himself and his pants in the process), and told him to get out of the car and cuffed him immediately.

If you breathe on a cop wrong it's a felony until they realize you're famous

That's what I was gathering but wondered if I missed something, sounds like we're one bit of info confirmation away from moving it to the cave police misconduct thread because some people cannot handle any honesty about a case of bad/incompetent police.

A pair of $80 pants will no longer be able to be worn. We wept.

Then the reality that the felony charges are ludicrous if that's basically what happened?

I really cannot believe, if that is the basic outline of what actually happened, that it went any further than the back of the cop car.

There were apparently lots of reporters present that saw the whole incident that were shocked that they actually arrested him for it. Hard to imagine the thought process that led to him not only being taken to jail and booked, but also to posting his mugshot on social media. Had to be a number of idiots involved to get that far.

Reality is nobody here actually knows and is just basing their opinions on assumptions or tweets they saw.

You keep saying this. I’m basing my opinion off eyewitness accounts from reputable reporters who actually saw the event, video evidence, the location in which it happened, and the police reports. The same info a jury would have. There is evidence available that isn’t just random hearsay.

If there’s video that surfaces that proves otherwise, I’m open to changing my opinion.

Link them? I haven’t been following the thread all day but I haven’t seen that.

There are some earlier in the thread (that I don't have time to dig up), but one report said that other players were doing the same thing and going in their designated entrance unmolested.
So did Scottie do something different? Did a new officer take over? Did something at the accident scene change that made them have to stop Scottie? Did the officer just **** up? I could see all those as plausible options.
