The World No.1 was trying to avoid heavy traffic that was caused after PGA of America employee John Mills was struck and killed by a shuttle bus.
Scheffler was handcuffed, thrown into a jail cell and charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer.
But all of his charges were later dropped.

A video of Scheffler and his caddie Ted Scott interacting with a group of fans on the practice range at Royal Montreal Golf Club has gone viral at the Presidents Cup this week.

Scheffler said to his fans: "Jail is kinda boring to be honest with you. I needed something to do."
A fan then said: "Scottie, was it just you in the jail cell?"
He replied: "Yeah, I was alone."
"Sorry guys I got to tee off in an hour," shouted out another fan.
Scheffler laughed and then continued: "One of the guys in the jail, the first guy, a police officer who knew who I was, literally walked up in disbelief going 'what the heck did you do?' I was like 'I dunno'."
Scheffler went on to win his Thursday fourballs match alongside Russell Henley as Jim Furyk's United States whitewashed Mike Weir's Internationals 5-0 in the opening session.
Henley and Scheffler took care of business in a 3&2 victory over Tom Kim and Sungjae Im.
But it was not without plenty of drama.
Far from it.
Scheffler and Kim were locked in a fiesty encounter as they exchanged birdies on 7.
Kim gave it large, Scheffler went even larger.
Things then escalated further on the 8th green after Kim drained his birdie putt.
Kim and Im were encouraged by captain's assistant Camilo Villegas to walk on to the 9th tee without even staying by the green to watch Scheffler putt out.
In the eyes of commentator and former European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley, it was a sign of 'disrespect' and 'bad behaviour' from the International team.
Scheffler spoke about it all after the match.
