Tiger Woods’ DUI Arrest Details
The golf star, aged 50, was arrested after a car accident where he was found to be under the influence. Authorities reported that Woods flipped his vehicle and was sweating profusely at the scene. During the arrest, officers discovered two hydrocodone pills in his pocket. Video footage captured Woods struggling during a sobriety test and appearing to fall asleep in a police vehicle.
Despite the charges, Woods pleaded not guilty and later acknowledged that he was seeking assistance in the aftermath of the incident. A judge has permitted him to pursue treatment outside the U.S. due to concerns about privacy that could hinder his recovery.
Woods’ History with DUI Incidents
This recent arrest is not Woods’ first encounter with law enforcement regarding driving under the influence. In May 2017, he was found asleep in his car and subsequently arrested. His current legal troubles follow a nearly catastrophic car crash in February 2021 that endangered his right leg.
