In a significant development, Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell is expected to address the charges against pro golfer Scottie Scheffler today, giving a strong indication that the case will likely be dismissed. O'Connell's office has stated that he will make a statement at 1 p.m. at the Hall of Justice in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. The golf pro will not be present, but will be represented by his lawyer, Steve Romines, who has been working on Scheffler's defense since his arrest.

Scheffler's arrest took place outside Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville on May 17, following an alleged refusal to stop near the scene of a fatal crash at the course entrance. The golfer was charged with felony assault of a police officer after he was accused of refusing to comply with Detective Bryan Gillis' directives, driving forward and dragging Gillis to the ground. Gillis suffered injuries to his knee and wrist and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment. The arrest report also mentioned damage to the officer's uniform pants estimated to be worth $80.

However, witnesses have disputed the events described in the arrest report. They claimed that Gillis attempted to grab onto Scheffler's vehicle as it moved slowly forward. Another point of concern is the absence of body camera footage of the initial incident. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg stated that the officer did not have his body camera turned on during the confrontation, and no video evidence of the initial contact has been discovered thus far.

The incident occurred while authorities were still investigating a fatal crash that took place earlier that morning. John Mills, a 69-year-old security guard, was struck and killed by a shuttle bus while crossing Shelbyville Road to work at Valhalla Golf Club.

With the scheduled press conferences by both Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell and attorney Steve Romines, it appears that a resolution or dismissal of the charges is highly likely in Scheffler's case. The absence of body camera footage and conflicting witness accounts may play a significant role in the outcome of the proceedings.

As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen whether any additional evidence or testimony will come to light. For now, the public eagerly awaits further updates on the case.
