Tiger Woods formally charged with DUI after Florida rollover crash

Tiger Woods is facing potential jail time after being formally charged with a DUI for his recent crash in Florida. The five-time Masters champ, 50, was charged Tuesday with two misdemeanors: driving under the influence and refusing to take a chemical or physical test of his breath or urine, following his rollover crash last month near his home in Jupiter Island, TMZ reported exclusively Wednesday. The Athletic reported that Woods previously pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence with property damage, and refusal to submit to a urinalysis.

He has demanded a trial by jury. Woods’ failed attempt to pass a truck on the afternoon in question ended when his Land Rover rolled over and he had to crawl out of the window. Woods passed a breathalyzer test at the scene, but was arrested upon refusing a urinalysis test.

He was released within hours on $1,150 bail. Bodycam footage published by TMZ shows Woods telling officers the accident happened when he’d been “looking down at [his] phone and, all of a sudden, boom. ” The vehicle can be seen on its side, as the driver of the truck recounts the crash from his perspective, telling officers he’s “fine.

” Additional footage from the arrest shows an officer administering a sobriety test to Woods, after he confirms that he takes multiple medications, all of which he took prior to the collision. Video shows the officer cuffing Woods as she informs him, “I do believe your normal faculties are impaired,” which she attributes to “an unknown substance. ” She tells Woods he’s “at risk for DUI.
