Tiger Woods arrested, charged with DUI after Florida crash
MIAMI, United States (AFP) — Golf superstar Tiger Woods was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after being involved in a rollover car crash in Florida on Friday, law enforcement said.
Woods, who was uninjured in the accident, was detained after the car he was driving clipped a truck and flipped over.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said the 50-year-old showed signs of “impairment” but passed a breathalyzer test for alcohol.
“But when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused, and so he’s been charged with DUI, with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test in the crash,” Budensiek said.
