The Louisville Metro Police Department has taken "corrective action" against the police officer who arrested world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler last week because he didn't activate his bodycam video recorder during the incident outside the gates of Valhalla Golf Club, police chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel announced Thursday.
During a news conference, Gwinn-Villaroel said Gillis violated the department's standard operating procedures for body-worn cameras (BWC), which states that officers are required to "maintain their BWC in a constant state of operational readiness."
"Detective Gillis did not have his body-worn camera operationally ready as required by our policy," Gwinn-Villareal said.
