Tiger Woods charged with DUI in Florida rollover crash
Tiger Woods has been involved in another rollover car accident, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office told ABC News.
Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover car accident and has been charged with driving under the influence with property damage. The golfer was involved in a two-car accident in Jupiter, Florida on Friday afternoon, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. There were no injuries to either driver, but police say Woods showed signs of impairment and refused a urinalysis test.
While Woods blew a 0. 00 on a Breathalyzer test for alcohol, authorities believe he had “some type of medication or drug” in his system, per the Sheriff’s office. “We know we arrested a high-profile figure,” Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said.
“I’m not trying to dramatize it, but it doesn’t matter who you are: If you break the law, we’re going to follow the law. That’s a really easy path to take. Now, as far as being in the jail, we’re going to make sure he’s safe.
We’re not going to put him in general population. He’s not going to be with other inmates that could hurt him or try to capitalize on what he did. He’ll pay the price, but he’s not going to pay the price by getting punished in jail.
