Cop who arrested Scottie Scheffler issues unprecedented statement about his 'damn $80 pants' after charges dropped | This is the loop

Just when we thought a wild few weeks involving Scottie Scheffler were over, we learned of the wild statement released by the Louisville police officer who arrested him. Detective Bryan Gillis finally spoke out after all four charges against Scheffler were dropped Wednesday. And, yes, he mentioned his now infamous pants. Sorry for not posting this sooner, but I really thought it was a joke when I first saw the statement. But now that legitimate media outlets, from the Dallas News to Golfweek, have reported on it, well, it must be real. In fact, most seem pretty standard. Gillis, who was disciplined for not turning on his body camera, maintains that he had every right to arrest Scheffler and that he was "high" near Scheffler's car. That being said, he praised the world number 1 for the way he handled the ordeal and echoed the golfer's statement that there was "no ill will" as the two men look to put the 'matter behind them. They also both offered their condolences to the family of the man who tragically died in a shuttle accident that chaotic morning of May 17 before the second round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla. Again, this is pretty standard. But then Gillis offered this postscript about his pants. Those that were described as costing $80 and being “damaged beyond repair” in the original police report. Again, it's real. And it's spectacular. “PS… Yes, the ministry is making us buy a pair of fucking pants for $80. For those concerned, they were effectively ruined. But Scottie, it's okay. I never imagined that I would have the most famous pants in the country for a few weeks because of this. Take care and be safe." Amazing. Also surprising that a police officer has to buy his own uniform pants? For $80?! It's like Banana Republic prices! And not Banana Republic Factory! I would be furious if I had a beautiful pair like this ruined. Anyway, here's the full statement, which was first obtained by a reporter at the NBC affiliate in Louisville (again, it must be legit!): What a crazy few weeks. Let's hope it's all over. And I hope someone got him some replacement pants.
