A news conference has been held to address the internal investigation into the arrest of golfer Scotty Scheffler. The administration, L.M.P.D., and the community emphasize the importance of transparency in this matter. Video footage from two cameras, including a fixed pole camera and a police car dash cam, has been released to shed light on the events surrounding Mr. Scheffler's arrest.
Chief Jacqueline Gwinn-Billeroyal provided insights into the investigation, particularly focusing on the lack of use of body-worn camera by Detective Gillis during the encounter with Mr. Scheffler. Detective Gillis was found to be in violation of L.M.P.D. policy regarding body-worn cameras and has received corrective action for this oversight.
