Newly released police footage is bringing fresh attention to Tiger Woods’ latest legal trouble, showing exactly how the golfer reacted in the back of a squad car after his arrest in Martin County, Florida.
The 50-year-old golf legend was taken into custody after a rollover crash on March 27. In the newly surfaced bodycam video, Woods is seen kneeling on the ground wearing sunglasses and a backward cap.
Woods cooperates as officers search him and tell him a medical team will check him for injuries. But cooperation didn’t mean he was avoiding arrest.
When an officer told him he was being detained, Woods sounded stunned, asking, “I’m being arrested?” The officer responded that he believed Woods’ “normal faculties were impaired.”
Once inside the squad car, Woods didn’t hide his frustration. The footage shows him visibly irritated as he sat belted in the back seat, yawning repeatedly and hiccuping.
According to officers at the scene, Woods was sweating heavily, and they found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket. He passed his breathalyzer test but refused to take a urine test at the county jail.
Woods is now facing DUI and failure-to-submit charges stemming from the two-vehicle crash. The footage has only intensified public scrutiny as the golf world waits to see how he addresses.
