Detective Bryan Gillis recently issued a statement following the dismissal of charges against pro golfer Scottie Scheffler.

Gillis concluded his statement by addressing the humorous aspect of the situation, mentioning the $80 pants that were ruined during the incident. He expressed good-natured humor towards Scheffler and wished him well, highlighting the unexpected turn of events surrounding the infamous pair of pants. Overall, both parties expressed a desire to move forward and maintain a positive outlook amidst the challenges they faced.
