Louisville police officer Javar Downs, who was involved in the controversial arrest of golfer Scottie Scheffler, has been arrested on charges of theft and official misconduct. Downs is accused of pocketing $4,000 from an envelope containing $10,000 seized during a traffic stop. He has been placed on emergency suspension and faces termination from the police department. This incident follows Downs' failure to activate his body camera during Scheffler's arrest, which was a violation of department policy. Scheffler, who was arrested due to a traffic misunderstanding at the PGA Championship, has since been cleared of all charges. The LMPD has emphasized a commitment to accountability and thorough investigations in response to these allegations.
