Woods mugshot released after driving under influence charges laid
Why it matters: Another DUI charge adds to Tiger Woods's troubled history, raising questions about his personal life.
- Tiger Woods was arrested on DUI charges, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test after rolling his Land Rover in Jupiter Island.
- Sheriff John Budensiek stated officers initially suspected impairment by an unknown substance, not alcohol, and Woods passed a breathalyzer with "triple zeros."
- Woods refused a urine test, which the sheriff noted he has a right to do, but will face charges for the refusal, preventing definitive results on what caused impairment.
- US President Donald Trump expressed sympathy for Woods, calling him a "very close friend" and "amazing person."
- This incident follows Woods's 2017 arrest for being slumped at the wheel with multiple medications and marijuana's active ingredient in his system, for which he pleaded guilty to reckless driving.
