Tiger Woods jailed: Urine test refused, what the law says, cops break the silence | Golf News –

New Delhi: Car accident, arrest, shooting, and multiple rule violations – Golf legend Tiger Woods has found himself in serious trouble after being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). Woods was taken into police custody after his Land Rover overturned on a two-lane road near his home on Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday.Woods was lodged in the Martin County Jail and has now been released.

Woods was able to crawl out of the passenger side and was not injured, Martin County Sheriff John Bodensek said. His car collided with a truck while trying to overtake on a residential road on Jupiter Island, and overturned before stopping.“He was showing signs of weakness,” Bodencic said, adding that investigators believe he had taken “some type of medication or drug.”

He said Woods agreed to take a breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused to take a urine test and was arrested.“When it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, so he was charged with driving under the influence, damage to property and refusal to submit to a lawful test in the accident,” Budinsek said.While neither Woods nor the driver of the other car was injured, Budincik said the accident “could have been much worse.”

Asked to estimate how fast Woods was driving in the moments before the crash, Budincik replied: “The answer is I can’t. But I can tell you this – it’s a top speed of 30 mph.”Under Florida DUI laws, Woods will be held for a minimum of eight hours in a local jail before being released.“This is a small two-lane road,” he added. He added: “If someone had been moving in the opposite direction, we would not have had a conversation saying there were no injuries.”“When I show you the pictures, they kind of speak for themselves…You can see he slid around looking for a suitable space before he stopped.”Friday’s accident comes five years after Woods was involved in a serious car accident in California that left him seriously injured in his right leg.Woods requested the insertion of pins in his foot and ankle, as well as a rod in his shin, followed by another surgery in 2023.
