Tiger Woods pleads not guilty to DUI charges after rollover crash
His attorney filed a jury trial request after deputies said he showed signs of impairment and refused a urine test.
- On Tuesday, Tiger Woods entered a not guilty plea to DUI and related misdemeanor charges in Martin County court, with attorney Douglas Duncan filing a waiver of arraignment following Woods' March 27 rollover crash in Florida.
- Deputies reported Woods crossed double solid lines last Friday, clipping a Ford F-150's trailer on South Beach Road in Hobe Sound while distracted by his cell phone and radio before his Land Rover flipped.
- Despite registering 0.00 on a breathalyzer, arrest records state Woods showed "several signs of impairment," including lethargy and glassy eyes. Deputies found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket, though he refused a urine test.
- Duncan demanded a jury trial, moving the case into formal proceedings with an arraignment scheduled for April 23. This legal stance could limit Woods' availability for next month's Masters Tournament.
- Legal documents indicate the case mirrors Woods' 2017 arrest when Duncan also represented him on prescription drug charges. His current situation compounds recent setbacks, complicating his comeback attempt after multiple career-altering injuries.
