sport news Louisville police officer Bryan Gillis scrutinized over Scottie Scheffler's ... trends now
The Louisville Metro Police officer who arrested golf superstar Scottie Scheffler is facing further scrutiny as a report reveals he was once suspended for doing donuts in his police cruiser with a drunk civilian.
As revealed by local station WDRB's Jason Riley, Louisville Police Det. Bryan Gillis has faced departmental discipline for several incidents, including one five-day suspension in 2013 for driving recklessly in a 'non-emergency situation.'
Gillis was specifically accused of driving an 'intoxicated civilian' in his 'police vehicle' and doing 'donuts' in a business parking lot.'
Riley also reports that Gillis was disciplined for wrecking his vehicle and missing court appearances on separate occasions.
Previously it was reported that Gillis also works as a collision investigator for attorneys and insurance companies.

Scheffler plays his shot from the sixth tee in the first round of the Charles Schwab Challenge
On Thursday, Louisville police released footage of the moment Scheffler was arrested on his way into the PGA Championship last week, but the video conflicts with Gillis' claims in the incident report.
Scheffler was arrested in the early hours last Friday, May 17, as he arrived for his second round at Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky.
The 27-year-old was accused of failing to stop for police as he attempted to gain entry at a point when they were managing traffic in the wake of a fatal collision between a bus and a member of the tournament's security staff, John Mills.
Almost a week on from the astonishing incident at Valhalla, Louisville police held a press conference on Thursday to provide an update on Scheffler's situation - while also releasing two separate videos from the morning in question.
However, neither video shows Scheffler dragging Gillis to the ground, as is alleged in a police citation, or the initial interaction which led to his arrest.

Contrary to reports, the Louisville Metro Police Department announced that the four charges against Scheffler - including second-degree assault of a police officer - are not being dropped ahead of his arraignment on June 3.
The LMPD also released footage of the moment Scheffler was put in handcuffs and arrested from two video cameras. They are not aware of any footage of the initial interaction between the golf star and police.
One video came from a fixed pole camera on Shelbyville Road, while the second was recorded from the dashcam of a police car.
