Also at these tournaments every player/person involved in the tournament is driving the exact same car and they are all marked. If they were allowing players to enter, the officer probably should have known that.


It was dark and raining and the officers had their mind on investigating a death. A traffic fatality investigation is very time consuming and requires a lot of measurements, photos and the like. Being a PGA player does not give him special rights. He could have attempted to contact a PGA official or an officer and explain the situation. Once he tried to drive with an officer attached to his car I had zero problem with him being detained. They are out there in the rain and a driver not following the instructions of when to stop and where to drive puts officers at risk. Do I think he needs to be arrested. No, but I have no problem with him being detained,

I mean I don't think he was just driving around right next to a dead corpse on the ground. I'm sure they had cops that were specifically in charge of the entrance to the golf course. Jeff Darlington said that they were instructed to let players in using that entrance. Players navigate through blocked off entrances, roads, etc all the time.

I don't have a problem with him being detained either, but he was arrested and charged with 2nd degree assault.

Side mirrors are attached to cars - not police officers. Sounds like this cop thought he was fricking Rambo and decided to jump on the car

This cop wasn't investigating shite. This guy was directing traffic at a location not near where the death happened.
