US EditionTiger Woods had hydrocodone pills in his pocket and bloodshot eyes at crash scene, authorities say
Tiger Woods was charged with misdemeanors including DUI and property damage after crashing and rolling his SUV while failing sobriety tests, despite a 0.000 breath-alcohol result.
- On Friday, Tiger Woods crashed his Land Rover into a pickup truck and was arrested for driving under the influence, according to an arrest affidavit released Tuesday. Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods exhibited signs of impairment at the scene.
- According to the affidavit, Woods appeared lethargic with bloodshot, glassy eyes and extremely dilated pupils during sobriety tests conducted while seated due to his physical limitations. He told deputies he has had more than 20 operations on his leg.
- A breath test at the Martin County Jail registered 0.000 on both samples, indicating no alcohol was present. Deputies found two white pills identified as hydrocodone in Woods' pocket, and he refused to submit to a urine test.
- Charged with DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test—all misdemeanors—Woods faces legal consequences following this incident. This marks the latest in a series of auto accidents dating back to 2009.
- Whether Woods returns to next month's Masters Tournament remains uncertain after this latest setback. Since his rollover crash in Los Angeles County, the PGA Tour winner has played in 11 tournaments but finished only four.
