“The golfer will pay a fine and the whole episode will be swept under the rug.”
He won’t pay.
He'll pay but any charges will be a misdemeanor traffic violation, even tho all the witness testimonies are in his favor.
He has every right to sue the local cop agency for violating his 4th Amendment rights and the unlawful arrest and detainment, but he won't.
Due to his public profile, he has nothing to gain from it and just wants to put this behind him with no public fanfare.
On the other hand, if it was me, I would immediately be in touch with a civil rights attorney.......
