The officer who arrested top-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler violated department policy by not turning on his body camera for the interaction, police said on Thursday.

During a press conference, the chief of police said that Detective Bryan Gillis did not have his body-worn camera (BWC) “operationally ready” as required.
