In one of the wildest stories of the last 10 years in golf, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, just a month after winning his second green jacket at the Masters, was arrested early Friday morning of the PGA Championship back in May.
Since his arrest, Scheffler has been cleared of all charges.
On Friday, Ward Jolles of Wave 3 News in Louisville reported that LMPD Officer Javar Downs was arrested for stealing $4,000 he seized from a suspect being booked into jail.
Downs was one of the three officers who failed to turn on their body cams during Scheffler’s incident at Valhalla.
LMPD has put Downs on “emergency suspension” and has “begun the process of terminating the employment of Officer Downs.”
MORE: Downs is charged with one count of Theft by Unlawful Taking $1k or greater, and one count of official misconduct. After allegedly pocketing money he seized from a suspect he booked into LMDC, Downs himself was booked this morning. Here’s his mugshot. @wave3news pic.twitter.com/4HlBm2S5Ji
