Tiger Woods Found with Hydrocodone Pills, Sweating Heavily Post-Crash
Tiger Woods was involved in a severe car crash last weekend, prompting an investigation by local authorities. The incident occurred when Woods, driving a black Land Rover, swerved to avoid rear-ending a pickup truck, which had slowed down to make a turn. This maneuver caused Woods’s vehicle to clip the truck’s trailer, resulting in a rollover onto its driver’s side.
Details of the Incident
According to an arrest affidavit released by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, Woods exhibited signs of distress following the crash. He was reported to be “sweating profusely” and appeared “lethargic and slow.” Upon questioning, the golfer admitted to taking “a few” prescription drugs earlier that day.
Prescription Drugs Found
- Two hydrocodone pills were located in Woods’s left pocket by a deputy.
- Woods stated he was taking medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol, along with ibuprofen and Vicodin.
Field Sobriety Test and Arrest
Following his unusual behavior, a deputy requested Woods to undergo a field sobriety test, which he complied with. Observations noted that Woods appeared to limp and stumble while approaching the patrol vehicle. His eyes were described as bloodshot, glassy, and with dilated pupils.
Despite denying the consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs, the affidavit indicated the deputy believed Woods’s faculties were impaired. As a result, he was taken into custody at the Martin County Jail, where he submitted to a breath test but refused a urine sample.
Legal Proceedings
Currently, Woods is out on bail and has pleaded not guilty to the charges of driving under the influence. The ongoing investigation continues to draw public attention as details surrounding the crash emerge.
Background on Woods
Woods revealed to deputies he has undergone several medical procedures, including seven back surgeries and over 20 operations on his leg. He mentioned that he walks with a limp, and his ankle “seizes while walking.”
This incident has raised concerns about Woods’s health and well-being, especially as he navigates both personal and professional challenges.
