Tiger Woods DUI: Case takes wild turn after police bombshell affidavit
Tiger Woods denied taking any substance at the time of his arrest after the car crash
Tiger Woods has lately been grabbing attention for his shocking car crash, where, though he remains unhurt, questions were raised over his personal conduct.
This means there is a suspicion among authorities who, at the time, reached the incident spot that the golf legend was driving under the influence.
Though the golf icon denied taking any substance, at the same time, he refused to take a urine test to confirm his account.
Now, in a bombshell affidavit, a Martin County sheriff's deputy wrote that Woods was found with two opioid pills.
Painting a grim situation of the scene, he pens the golf legend had “bloodshot, glassy eyes", “extremely dilated pupils", and was “sweating profusely” despite sitting in the air-conditioned car.
"Woods' movement was lethargic and slow,” he writes. “Woods had hiccups during the entire investigation.”
He continues, “I asked Woods if he consumed any illegal substances, to which he stated no,” the deputy recounted. “I asked Woods if he consumed any alcoholic beverage to drink today, to which he stated, 'none.'"
“I asked Woods if he consumed any prescription medication, to which he stated, ‘I take a few,’” the deputy notes.
But in the search, police “located two white pills" inside his pocket; reportedly, they are hydrocodone, an opioid medication.
“I asked Woods if he had any medical conditions,” he wrote. “Woods advised he’s had seven back surgeries and over twenty operations on his leg."
Woods, meanwhile, was arrested on charges of driving under the influence, property damage, and refusal to obey a law.
