Tiger Woods was arrested Friday and charged with driving while intoxicated after being involved in a rollover crash in Florida, officials said. The 50-year-old man climbed out of the car and was not injured. His vehicle collided with a truck and overturned while he was trying to pass on a residential street near his home in Jupiter Island.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods showed signs of a “mental disorder” when he was arrested for drunken driving in 2017, but later passed a breathalyzer test.
However, he was formally charged with driving under the influence after refusing to submit to a urinalysis test, Budencik said.
“When we asked for a urinalysis test, he refused, so he was charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a legitimate test in a crash,” Budencik said.
The sheriff said a drug recognition expert who examined Woods at the scene believed Woods was impaired by “some type of drug or medication.”
However, Budencik said Woods had the right to refuse a urine test under Florida law.
“We will never get a clear answer as to what injuries he sustained at the time of the accident,” Budencik told reporters.
As concerns grow over the health of Tiger and girlfriend Vanessa Trump, it was reported that neither the latter nor her daughter Kay were involved in the accident.
