Tiger Woods had hydrocodone pills in pants after DUI rollover crash in Florida, police say
Police found two hydrocodone pills on golf legend Tiger Woods after the rollover crash last week in Florida that led to his latest arrest for driving under the influence, according to an affidavit released Tuesday.
Woods, who said the two-car crash happened after he looked down at his phone, had “bloodshot and glassy eyes,” “extremely dilated pupils,” and was “sweating profusely” as he sat in another vehicle that had its air-conditioning on when cops arrived, the affidavit says.
“Woods movement was lethargic and slow,” a Martin County Sheriff’s deputy wrote in the affidavit. “Woods had hiccups during the entire investigation.”
Hydrocodone can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and impaired coordination, making it unsafe to drive or operate machinery until you are aware of how the medication affects you. Driving while impaired by hydrocodone is illegal everywhere in the US, regardless of whether you have a valid prescription.
Tiger Woods says he’ll seek treatment after pleading not guilty to DUI
Tiger Woods said Tuesday he is stepping away to seek treatment, four days after his vehicle crashed in Florida and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He will miss the Masters for the second straight year.
“This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery,” Woods said in social media posts.
Woods pleaded not guilty in his driving under the influence case in Florida on Tuesday, hours after a sheriff’s report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled over on its side.
The online court docket for Martin County showed Woods entered a written plea of not guilty and planned to waive his April 23 arraignment hearing.
It’s the second time Woods has taken a leave following a car crash. In 2009, after his SUV plowed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home near Orlando, he took a leave of absence to work on being a better person. That lasted four months and he returned at the Masters.
