Looks from the mug shot he was on a bender.....

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Police say golf great Tiger Woods has been arrested on a DUI charge in Florida.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says on its website that Woods was booked into a county jail around 7 a.m. Monday.

Jail records show Woods had been arrested by police in Jupiter. He was released just before 11 a.m. on his own recognizance. He has been charged under a Driving Under the Influence statute.

No other details were immediately available. Messages left for a Jupiter police spokeswoman were not immediately returned.

In 2009, Tiger hit a tree while allegedly driving under the influence of Ambien after a fight with his then wife Elin Nordegren. He did not face DUI charges at the time.

Wonder why he got off the first time?

If it was 025 they asked for urine or blood because he probably had narcotics in his system along with the alcohol. If he refused urine or blood then it is a year suspension on his Fl. dl. I say he blew over .08

Tiger, almost immortal talent with golf and trailer park trash when booze is involved.

Alcohol or booze really doesn't matter. You don't drive while using either.
What disturbs me is his crap attitude.
Supposedly, cops have dashcam footage of him being arrogant and uncooperative with cops. The jerk has the money for a driver...

Tiger Woods was found asleep at the wheel the morning of his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence, police records show.


Tiger Woods is seen in a booking photo released by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
Jupiter, Florida, police discovered Woods early Monday on the side of the road, with his 2015 Mercedes-Benz running, its brake lights illuminated and right turn signal flashing, according to the arrest report released Tuesday. He was by himself and wearing his seat belt.

The report said that Woods had to be awakened and that his speech was slurred. Woods told police he was coming from golfing in Los Angeles and he didn’t know where he was, the document said. According to the report, he later changed his story and asked how far he was from his house. Woods has a home on Jupiter Island.

The report also said Woods also told police he “takes several prescriptions.”

Woods took a Breathalyzer test, registering a 0.000 on it, and a urine test, the report said. The report also noted that Woods was cooperative.

On Monday, Woods said in a statement that alcohol was not involved and that he had “an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications.”

In a statement to CNN and other media outlets, Woods, currently rehabbing from back surgery, said he did not realize the mix of medications “had affected me so strongly.”

“I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Woods said.

Woods is set to make his first court appearance July 5, according to records released Tuesday.

He was cited for DUI and improper parking, and records said there was no crash or damage to any property.

Woods was arrested about 3 a.m. Monday, Jupiter police spokeswoman Kristin Rightler said. He was booked into a local jail and released on his own recognizance with no bond a few hours later, according to Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office online records.

In his statement, the golfer apologized to family, friends and fans. “I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again.”

The PGA Tour said it would not comment on the arrest.

Woods has won 14 major tournaments — second only to Jack Nicklaus. The 41-year-old golfer has undergone multiple back surgeries and hasn’t played competitive golf since he was forced to pull out of the Dubai Desert Classic in February. He has expressed a desire to continue to play professionally despite his recent history of injuries.

He underwent fusion surgery on his back more than a month ago — his fourth operation since 2014. Woods said in a blog post published last week that “it was instant nerve relief.”

“I haven’t felt this good in years,” he said.

Woods also said in the post that his long-term prognosis for returning to professional golf is positive but that he won’t be able to twist his back for another two to three months.

“Right now, my sole focus is rehab and doing what the doctors tell me,” he wrote. “I am concentrating on short-term goals.

“I want to thank my doctors for their great work and support throughout this process. I also want to thank the fans for your phenomenal support. It means more than you know. There’s a long way to go, but as I said, words cannot convey how good it feels to be pain-free.”

Woods hasn’t won a major tournament since 2008 when he clinched the US Open in sudden death over Rocco Mediate. Shortly after his victory, Woods announced he would undergo reconstructive ACL surgery on his left knee and would miss the rest of the PGA Tour season.

The Memorial Day arrest is not Woods’ first encounter with adverse publicity. In November 2009, the golfer was taken to a hospital after he was injured in a car accident in front of his home in Orlando. The episode mushroomed into a scandal in the days afterward over revelations that Woods had been unfaithful to his then-wife, Elin Nordegren.

Woods took a break from professional golf and later apologized for having extramarital affairs and for letting down both his fans and his family. Woods and Nordegren were divorced in 2010.

Since the millenials and the whiners took over and the country's IQ dropped collectively by about 35%.

I originally saw a report of a deputy stating he smelled alcohol. Now it comes out Tiger's breathalyzer shows no alcohol.

Who's on first?

[PLRX]

[Aerovette]

He's on the road, stopped, asleep, car wrecked and believes that the fact he was NOT under the influence of alcohol, is a positive.

"You're honor, I object !! My client did not stab the victim to death, he shot the victim. BIG difference."

EDIT: Kermie, that's what I call a cockpit

Still comes down to personal responsibility. ( something that seems to be lacking to paint with a broad brush )

Yes.

I'm unaware of any prescription meds that cause drowsiness that do not have warnings on labels and pharmacy techs that don't verbally remind. Other than that, this wasn't Tiger's first dance with pain meds. You know that he knew.

[99 pewtercoupe]

what I don't understand is why someone with the kind of money he has doesn't just call for a Uber or even call for a limo rather than driving himself when he knows he is taking meds

Actually...

Tiger Woods's Mercedes had two flat tires and 'fresh damage' on the driver's side when cops found him asleep behind the wheel.

New documents released on Tuesday reveal that both tire rims on the driver's side of the Mercedes had some small but visible damage, while the front and rear tires on that side were flat.
There was also some minor damage to the bumper on the driver's side, and scuffs and scratches on the rear bumper. The passenger side rear taillight was also not working, according to the documents.

Dude was fk'd up and went for a drive. Probably not criminal behavior, but you don't get a Mulligan when it comes to personal responsibility.
