Should Scottie have immediately stopped instead of making the turn? Yes. Is what he did enough to arrest him and take him to jail? I would lean towards no.

Also at these tournaments every player/person involved in the tournament is driving the exact same car and they are all marked. If they were allowing players to enter, the officer probably should have known that.

It was dark and raining and the officers had their mind on investigating a death. A traffic fatality investigation is very time consuming and requires a lot of measurements, photos and the like. Being a PGA player does not give him special rights. He could have attempted to contact a PGA official or an officer and explain the situation. Once he tried to drive with an officer attached to his car I had zero problem with him being detained. They are out there in the rain and a driver not following the instructions of when to stop and where to drive puts officers at risk. Do I think he needs to be arrested. No, but I have no problem with him being detained,

“But if they just did what the cops tell them instead of resisting, there would be no issue and probably still alive today”
