Golfer Tiger Woods allegedly has two hydrocodone pills in his pocket when he was arrested at the scene of a car crash Friday.
Woods was arrested and charged with a DUI after an accident in Jupiter, Florida.
No one was seriously injured in the rollover crash.
Woods was eventually booked at the Martin County Jail. The county sheriff revealed in a press conference that the arrest followed Woods’ roadside tests to determine his condition.
The sheriff stated alcohol was not a factor in the crash; Woods refused a urinalysis test.
TMZ reported Tuesday morning that Woods had the pills at the time of his arrest.
The outlet had obtained Woods’ arrest record.
“According to the report, Woods was sweating profusely after the crash, despite sitting in the back of a vehicle with cool air flowing … and a deputy noted his movement was ‘lethargic and slow,’ and he showed ‘severe signs of impairment,’” per TMZ.
“When he removed his sunglasses, the deputy observed Woods’ eyes to be ‘bloodshot and glassy,’ and his pupils were ‘extremely dilated.’ They also noted Woods appeared ‘extremely alert’ during the investigation,” TMZ continued. “Woods was asked if he takes any prescription medication … and he replied, ‘I take a few.’”
“Woods told deputies he was traveling from his home … which is about 5 minutes from the crash scene,” TMZ reported. “During a search of Woods’ person, the deputy stated they located two white pills inside his left pants pocket with the marks ‘M367’ — revealed to be hydrocodone, an opioid medication used to treat severe pain.”
“In the police report, Woods also explained to police that he was looking at his phone and changing the radio station while he was behind the wheel. Because of that, he didn’t see the car in front of his slowing down,” per TMZ.
