Tiger Woods Pleads Not Guilty in DUI Case

0:00Tiger Woods, the 50-year-old golf legend, just entered a not guilty plea in his Florida driving under the influence case. This comes right after a crash last week on Jupiter Island, where his land rover clipped the truck at high speed and flipped onto its side. No one got hurt, but the truck took about $5,000 in damage. Deputies at the scene noted, Woods had bloodshot eyes, slow movements, and was sweating while talking. They found two white opioid pills, hydrocodone for pain, right in his pocket. He admitted taking prescription meds that morning and explained he was distracted by his phone and radio. Woods has a long history of injuries, including seven back surgeries, over 20 leg operations and that brutal 2021 crash that nearly cost him his right leg. During field sobriety tests, he was limping with a compression sock on his knee and kept moving his head, which raised red flags for the deputies. A breathalyzer came back clean for alcohol, but he refused a urine test, adding to the charges of DUI with property damage and refusal to submit.

1:02Officials say his faculties were impaired enough that he couldn't safely drive. His team and the PGA tour haven't commented yet, and he's set for a Raymond on April 23rd. We'll keep watching how this plays out for the King of the Greens. This has been Vancouver News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the Story.
