JUPITER ISLAND, Fla. (CBS12) — Body camera footage reveals details of Tiger Woods' DUI arrest following a rollover crash on March 27.
The Martin County Sheriff's Office reported that Woods attempted to overtake a pickup truck towing a trailer on South Beach Road, crossed double solid lines, and collided with the trailer, resulting in his SUV flipping onto its side.
According to a probable cause affidavit, deputies observed signs of impairment, including bloodshot eyes and lethargic movements. Two hydrocodone pills were found in Woods' pants pocket during the arrest.
Woods stated he was looking at his phone and adjusting the radio prior to the crash, saying, “I looked down at my phone and all of a sudden…BOOM.”
He passed a breathalyzer test, indicating no alcohol in his system, but refused a urine test. This refusal led to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
Legal experts noted that the body camera footage could be significant for the case, potentially detailing Woods' condition and his interactions with law enforcement. Additional footage from a patrol vehicle shows Woods in custody, occasionally hiccupping.
Woods has received court approval to leave the U.S. for an overseas inpatient treatment program, with no objection from prosecutors. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and the case is still pending.
