Body Cam Footage Reveals Tiger Woods’ Arrest After Florida Crash
Body camera footage has surfaced showing Tiger Woods’ arrest after a Florida crash. The video was released less than a week following a March 27 collision on Jupiter Island.
What the footage shows
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office released the body cam video on Thursday. It captures deputies handcuffing Woods after he struggled with field sobriety tasks.
Officers described heavy sweating and slowed movements. They said Woods’ eyes appeared glassy and bloodshot. He initially wore sunglasses that obscured his eyes.
Crash details
The SUV clipped a trailer attached to a pickup truck and rolled onto its side. Woods climbed out from the passenger side because the driver door was damaged.
Deputies said the vehicle crossed over double lines before striking the trailer. No injuries were reported at the scene.
Statements and evidence
Woods told officers he had looked at his phone and then struck the vehicle ahead. He said he had not consumed alcohol that day.
Two pills were found in his pocket. Authorities later identified them as the painkiller hydrocodone. Woods acknowledged taking a few prescription medications.
Sobriety testing and arrest
Woods agreed to perform field sobriety exercises. He failed to complete some tasks correctly, deputies reported. He was taken into custody without incident.
At the Martin County Jail, he submitted to an alcohol breath test that showed no alcohol. He refused a urine test, which could have identified other substances.
Charges and court action
Woods, 50, was charged with driving under the influence. He also faces an additional charge for refusing the urine test. A court filing shows he pleaded not guilty and waived arraignment.
Public response
Woods later posted that he would step away to seek treatment. The matter remains active as legal proceedings move forward.
Keywords in context include body cam footage, Tiger Woods, arrest, and Florida crash as central elements of the reporting.
