Another witness told TMZ Sports that officers even took a peek at Scheffler while he was being placed into the system with others wondering how long he would be held. Scheffler was booked at around 8:40 a.m. ET and made it back to the course ahead of his 10:08 a.m. tee time.

Scheffler was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer (a felony), criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from an officer directing traffic. 

He allegedly drove past a police officer who was directing traffic and failed to stop when directed. The officer attached himself to Scheffler’s vehicle and was dragged. According to an arrest report, Louisville Detective Bryan Gillis suffered injuries in the incident.

Scheffler's arraignment is set for Tuesday, but the No Laying Up"podcast reported that the charges against him may be dropped.
