Tiger Woods' DUI Arrest: Meds, Crash, Rehab

0:00On April 3rd, Tiger Woods got into a serious rollover crash with his SUV in Florida back in February. Deputies pulled him from the wreck and ran a field sobriety test, which he clearly struggled with. Missing steps and reps on basic moves like touching, his nose and arm swings, turns out no alcohol was in his system from the breathalyzer, but he was impaired by prescription painkillers like hydrocodone found in his pocket. Earlier that morning, Woods had been trying to pass a truck on a narrow road when his genesis flipped onto its side. He crawled out looking sweaty, lethargic, with glassy eyes, classic signs of being under the influence according to the cops. He admitted sometimes taking the meds for pain, but said he hadn't that day before driving. Once cuffed and in the back of the patrol car, Woods started piecing it together, muttering sarcastically about how fun it all was while the AC kicked in. The deputy confirmed she had his phone and he seemed to sober up a bit in the heat of the moment, grasping the weight of the arrests for driving under.

1:02The influence, he got released after an eight-hour detention, no charges stuck since it was meds not booze. Woods owned up publicly, saying he needed to step back for treatment to focus on his health and recovery. Now he's jetted off to a high-end rehab spot in Zurich, Switzerland, prioritizing that long-term healing away from the spotlight. I'm Corey with The Story.
