The fact that he went out and shot 66 after getting released from jail is pretty remarkable. 

"Assaulting a police officer" makes it sound like he walked up and punched out a police officer.  From what I understand, one officer waved him through, which happens at a lot of golf events when players are stuck in traffic, then another officer told him to stop, but he continued, and the second officer grabbed his door handle and got dragged a little way before Scheffler stopped.  There's no way Scheffler would intentionally assault a police officer.  Scheffler was asked if he ever name-dropped himself (I'm Scottie Scheffler, number one golfer in the world, etc) and he said, no, all he said was "I'm trying to get to my tee time."

I'm sure that when this goes away a lot of people will want to point to some sort of "rich man's privilege" or some other sort of privilege, but the fact is, in a situation like this, anyone who has decent legal representation and no prior arrests would have this all go away.
