Evidence Mounts in Troon North Golf Club Theft Case

Crucial evidence in the case includes surveillance footage that captured Reel in the act. After his initial visit to the Troon North Golf Club, Reel returned, only to be confronted by alert employees who managed to obtain his license plate number. Authorities arrested him during a traffic stop in Scottsdale on September 5 while he was driving his parents’ Mercedes SUV.

Further investigation of Reel’s apartment yielded incriminating evidence, including empty Troon North Golf Club rental bags, golf bags with people’s name tags, and a name tag belonging to one of the alleged victims in the center console of the SUV. Although Reel admitted to possessing additional empty golf bags found near dumpsters, he claimed not to own any golf sets.

At a recent court appearance, Reel was released on his recognizance but was given strict instructions, including not returning to the crime scene, avoiding contact with any employees or victims, refraining from drug use without a valid prescription, and not driving without a valid driver’s license. Reel is scheduled to appear in court again in two weeks as the investigation unfolds.
