What could land Tiger Woods back in jail?
Judge Darren Steele reveals which violation could trigger Tiger Woods' arrest
Tiger Woods, as expected, entered a plea deal over his earlier alleged driving-under-the-influence incident.
But he could still go back to jail.
Judge Darren Steele, who is hearing the case, spelled out what could trigger the golf legend's arrest.
Woods has been slapped with a five-year suspension of his driving license and a $5,000 fine.
Thus, in the period, if he were, in any circumstance, to try to get behind the wheel, the judge stated he would be facing handcuffs again.
"There are no exceptions," Steele bluntly warned. "If you were to drive for any reason at all, you would go immediately back to jail."
Meanwhile, when the incident occurred in late March, Woods' explanation was plain: he was distracted by his cellphone and the vehicle's radio.
This has led to what he shared that his SUV clipped the truck and rolled onto the other side.
However, the authorities have a different version of events.
At the time, present on the scene, Martin County Sheriff Deputy Tatiana Levenar observed the situation and later wrote in an arrest affidavit that Woods was "sweating profusely and his movement was lethargic and slow while she interviewed him."
Before the accident, the golf star's career had been embroiled in his injuries, and his attempts to come back had been blunted.
But soon after the event, Woods announced he would take a break from the sport and focus on his health.
As a result, he committed to an inpatient facility in Switzerland.
