Tiger Woods has entered a plea of not guilty following an incident where his vehicle rolled over in Florida. The renowned golfer, aged 50, is facing charges related to driving under the influence, property damage, and refusal to undergo a lawful test.
The crash occurred when Woods attempted to pass a tow truck on a narrow road, resulting in his SUV tipping over onto its side. Despite registering a 0.00 on a breathalyzer test, he declined to undergo a urinalysis. Following the crash, Woods was required to spend eight hours in Martin County Jail before being released and returning home.
TMZ was the first to report Woods’ plea after examining court records. His legal representation will be provided by attorney Douglas Duncan. These developments emerged shortly after former President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on Woods during an interview with the New York Post, expressing optimism about Woods’ well-being.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek clarified that initial suspicions of alcohol involvement were dispelled after Woods tested negative on the breathalyzer. However, Woods’ refusal to submit to a urinalysis led to the DUI charges, along with property damage accusations.
The incident was reported when the Jupiter Island Police Department received a call about a rollover crash involving Woods’ vehicle. After assessing the situation, it was determined that Woods displayed signs of impairment, leading to his arrest and subsequent detention at Martin County Jail.
Overall, no injuries were reported as a result of the crash, with Woods and the other individuals involved escaping unharmed. The investigation into the incident continues as legal proceedings move forward.
