Tiger Woods Charged After High-Speed Crash
As People magazine reported, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek revealed the charges against Woods during a press conference close to three hours after the accident on Friday afternoon.
“The crash involving Woods, 50, took place in Jupiter Island. Budensiek alleged that Woods was driving his Land Rover at a high speed behind a pickup truck,” the report noted. “The driver of the trailer, which was pulling a pressure cleaner, tried to pull over to avoid Woods, but Woods allegedly clipped the back of the trailer, and his Land Rover rolled over.”
Budensiek reported that Woods appeared “lethargic” and had “signs of impairment” after climbing out of his vehicle. He was arrested and taken to Martin County Jail.
“Budensiek said Woods did not consume alcohol, but refused a urinalysis, and that authorities believe he had drugs in his system,” the People magazine report added. “According to Budensiek, Woods ‘did explain the injuries and surgeries that he had, and we took that into account.’ “
