LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Criminal charges against Scottie Scheffler have been dismissed, ending a legal saga that began with images of the worlds top male golfer being arrested and handcuffed in Louisville during the PGA Championship.

Jefferson County Attorney Mike OConnell, a local prosecutor, asked a judge Wednesday afternoon to drop the four charges against Scheffle, who was not required to be in the courtroom Wednesday.

OConnell said his team reviewed the case in a thorough and expeditious manner and found that Schefflers account of the incident being a big misunderstanding was corroborated by the evidence.

Scheffler was charged with a felony for assaulting a police officer with his vehicle, along with three misdemeanors. The arresting officer, Detective Bryan Gillis, was outside the gate of Valhalla Golf Course May 17 directing traffic after a pedestrian death when he encountered Scheffler.
