The Louisville Metro Police Department detective who was involved in the incident with Scottie Scheffler at the PGA Championship released a statement after all charges were dropped on Wednesday. 

In the statement, Detective Bryan Gillis stuck to his story. 

"To be clear, I was drug by the car, I went to the ground, and I received visible injuries to my knees and wrist," the statement, via WAVE News, read. "I’m going to recover from it, and it will be OK. This is the extent of my commentary on the incident. The reality is that there are more important things in the world right now than a back-and-forth over this. A person lost his life that day, and a family lost a loved one."

Gillis began his statement by saying the family of John Mills, the Valhalla Golf Club volunteer who lost his life after being struck by a shuttle bus on May 17, was in his thoughts and prayers. 

"This was a chaotic situation for everyone involved," Gillis' statement continued. "Ensuring the safety of everyone in the vicinity was my utmost priority.

"Mr. Scheffler and I both agree that there will be no ill will over this going forward. Instead of giving a negative public reaction, he chose to speak with dignity, humility, and respect. My family and I appreciate that."
