Bodycam shows a stunned Tiger Woods handcuffed after a Florida rollover crash
After handcuffing Tiger Woods, authorities searched his pockets and found two white pills.
Tiger Woods expressed astonishment as he was handcuffed after crashing his SUV in Florida, according to body camera footage released that also shows deputies removing two pills from the golfer’s pocket. “I do believe your normal faculties are impaired, and you’re under an unknown substance, so at this time you’re under arrest for DUI,” Martin County Sheriff’s deputy Tatiana Levenar told Woods after conducting a sobriety test on him. Woods said he was looking at his phone and changing the radio station when his speeding Land Rover clipped the back of a truck and rolled onto its side on a residential road on Jupiter Island.
No one was injured in the March 27 crash. “I’m being arrested? ” Woods responded as he stood alongside the road.
“Yes sir,” Levenar said. After handcuffing Woods, authorities searched his pockets and found two white pills. “That’s a Norco,” Woods said after an officer pulled out the pills, referring to a painkiller that contains acetaminophen and the opioid hydrocodone.
Authorities would later confirm that Woods was in possession of hydrocodone. In the bodycam footage, Woods told Levenar that he had not drunk any alcohol and that he had taken “a few” medications earlier in the day, though Woods’ words are muted in the released video as he describes some of the drugs. Woods, 50, pleaded not guilty to suspicion of driving under the influence.
