Tiger Woods’ Mugshot Unveiled After Arrest in Dramatic Car Crash

Police released a mugshot of Tiger Woods after a crash near his Jupiter Island home on Friday. The image arrived hours after he was taken into custody following the incident.

Crash details

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said the golfer was driving a Land Rover. The vehicle attempted to overtake a truck at high speed, clipped a truck towing a trailer, and rolled onto its side.

The crash occurred shortly after 2pm local time on a small two-lane road. No injuries were reported at the scene.

Arrest and charges

Sheriff Budensiek said Woods showed signs of impairment when officers arrived. He was charged with driving under the influence, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test.

Woods, 50, submitted to a breathalyser test that returned a negative result. He then refused to provide a urine sample, the sheriff said.

On-scene behavior and vehicle exit

Authorities noted Woods appeared lethargic at the scene. They said this lethargy was believed to relate to what he had consumed.

It is unclear whether he was wearing a seat belt. Officers reported he crawled out through the passenger door before they arrived.

Custody, bail and image release

Woods was held in the Martin County Jail for about eight hours. He was later released on bail.

The mugshot was unveiled by law enforcement shortly after the arrest. Filmogaz.com reported the image release as part of ongoing coverage.

Officials’ comments and possible risk

Sheriff Budensiek warned the crash could have been far worse. He pointed to the narrow road and the tight passing space as factors that increased risk.

The truck driver had tried to edge off the road to avoid the collision, the sheriff said. There was not enough room to prevent contact.

Reactions and background

Former President Donald Trump commented on the situation, saying he felt badly and describing Woods as an amazing person. He added that Woods was facing difficulty.

The incident follows Woods’ recent return to competitive golf at the indoor TGL event. He had said he hoped to be fit for the Masters next month.
