The Louisville Metro Police officer who arrested golfer Scottie Scheffler outside Valhalla Golf Club on May 17 has had disciplinary issues in the past.

According to NBC News, these issues include multiple suspensions, per employment records.

Detective Bryan Gillis was the arresting officer who put the world No. 1 golfer into handcuffs. Scheffler was attempting to enter Valhalla Golf Club for round 2 of the PGA Championship while police investigated a nearby fatal accident.

Scheffler said he was following police directions, while Gillis said otherwise.

Gillis did not activate his body camera during the incident. Two other cameras — the dashboard camera from the squad car and that on a roadside pole — captured some video, but do not clearly show what happened.

Louisville Metro Police Department released Gillis’ personnel records Thursday.

In 2013, Gillis was suspended for five days for “conduct unbecoming.”

He drove a drunk civilian in his police vehicle and did “donuts” in a parking lot, according to a memo by  then-Chief Steve Conrad.

Then, in 2021, he was disciplined for pursuing “a vehicle that did not commit a violent felony or wanted on a warrant,” according to a memo by then-Chief Erika Shields.

He also received oral reprimands when he was found “at fault” for accidents in 2019 and 2021.

A Dec. 1, 2013, accident investigation led him to be found “at fault” that resulted in an oral reprimand and mandatory driver’s training.

Gillis was given one-day suspensions in 2010 and 2011 for failing to show up to court.

He was given a four-day ban in 2012 for continually missing court appearances, per employment documents.

But not everything in Gillis’ employment file was negative.

He received a commendation for being among seven officers who went “above and beyond” the call of duty in a “high-intensity traffic enforcement detail” that “culminated in you issuing a staggering 108 citations (114 charges, 1 DUI arrest) out of 201 citations issued during the four-hour operational period” on Sept. 16, 2021, NBC News reported.
