Scheffler was led away in handcuffs outside the Valhalla Golf Club entrance after becoming involved in a misunderstanding over traffic flow with the officers and attempting to drive into the course. Scheffler has been booked on charges of second degree assault of a police officer, third degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer.
In a statement released after he arrived back at Valhalla, Scheffler said: 'This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers. It was a very chaotic situation, understandably so considering the tragic accident that had occurred earlier, and there was a big misunderstanding of what I thought I was being asked to do. I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I’m hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today.'
