re: Scottie Scheffler arrest social media phenomenon

It was early morning and a there were a ton of flashing lights. Scheffler was going where he was supposed to be. Per Jeff Darlington:

Breaking News: World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler has been detained by police in handcuffs after a misunderstanding with traffic flow led to his attempt to drive past a police officer into Valhalla Golf Club. The police officer attempted to attach himself to Scheffler’s car, and Scheffler then stopped his vehicle at the entrance to Valhalla. The police officer then began to scream at Scheffler to get out of the car. When Scheffler exited the vehicle, the officer shoved Scheffler against the car and immediately placed him in handcuffs. He is now being detained in the back of a police car.

Police scraped his knee and they want to charge him for the pants.

Edit to add: Seems to me the police found out they messed up and, instead of just chalking it up to the simple misunderstanding that is was, decided to send the officer to the hospital for "treatment" for his scrapped knee and overcharge. The value of the pants is the kicker.
