Tiger Woods Arrested for DUI, Refuses Test

0:00On March 31st, Tiger Woods got arrested for driving under the influence after crashing his land rover last Friday on a Florida road. DVDs found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket, and he admitted to taking prescription meds that morning. The sheriff's report dropped Tuesday, painting a picture of slow movements, glassy eyes, and sweating at the scene. He was trying to pass a truck at high speed when he clipped it, flipping his SUV onto its side. No one got hurt, but the truck took $5,000 in damage from towing the trailer. Woods passed the breathalyzer with no alcohol, but he skipped the urine test. Folks noticed him limping during sobriety checks, hiccuping, and struggling to keep his head still. He explained it away with seven back surgeries and over 20 leg operations, saying his ankle locks up when he walks. The deputy still called it impairment, based on training and observations. On top of the UI, he's facing charges for property damage and refusing a lawful test. Florida's new laws make that refusal a misdemeanor right off the bat.

1:02Woods posted bail after eight hours and has a history, like that bad crash in February 2021 that wrecked his leg. Neither his teen nor the PGA tour has said a word yet, even with him on their board. Arrayment hits April 23rd, so we'll see how this plays out for the golf legend.
