— Tiger Woods’ eyes were bloodshot and glassy, his pupils dilated and he had hydrocodone pills in his pocket when interviewed at the scene of his car crash in Florida, according to a sheriff’s office report. Woods’ movements were slow and lethargic, he was sweating as he talked to deputies, and he told them he had taken prescription medication earlier in the morning, according to the incident report released from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies found two white pills, which were identified as the opioid hydrocodone used to treat pain, in his pocket, the report said.
When asked by a deputy if he took any prescription medications, Woods said, “I take a few. ” Woods told deputies he had been looking at his phone and fiddling with the radio before he clipped the truck in front of him, the report said. The golfer was traveling at “high speeds” on a beachside, residential road in Jupiter Island when his Land Rover clipped the truck and rolled onto its side, according to the sheriff’s office, noting that Woods showed “signs of impairment.
” The truck had $5,000 in damage, according to the sheriff’s report. Neither Woods nor the other driver were injured. Woods agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test, authorities said.
