Body camera footage released by the Martin County Sheriff's Office provides a detailed account of Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest following a single-vehicle rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida. The footage, made public on April 2nd, captures the moments deputies interacted with Woods near the scene of the accident on March 27th.

The Crash and Initial Interaction

The video shows Woods, visibly shaken, kneeling on the grass by the roadside. He recounts the events leading up to the crash, describing it as a sudden 'boom' after briefly looking down at his phone. Witnesses corroborated this sequence of events to the deputies, confirming Woods’ vehicle collided with another vehicle towing a trailer, resulting in the rollover.

Details of the Arrest

While initially cooperative, the situation escalated to DUI charges. The Sheriff’s Office stated Woods was speeding before the crash. Woods passed a breathalyzer test but declined a urinalysis, contributing to the charges. He was booked into jail on charges including DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a urine test.

Woods' Response and Treatment

Woods was released after posting a $1,150 bond, according to court records. Prior to the video’s release, on March 31st, Woods announced his temporary withdrawal from golf to seek treatment, acknowledging the seriousness of his situation and requesting privacy for his family.

Arrest Report Findings

The arrest report detailed observations made by detectives, including bloodshot and glassy eyes, dilated pupils, and slow movements, indicators often associated with impairment. Two suspected hydrocodone pills were also discovered during the arrest. On April 1st, a judge granted Woods permission to leave the country for comprehensive inpatient treatment.

The incident has sparked discussions about substance use and the responsibilities of public figures. Woods’ decision to enter treatment demonstrates a commitment to addressing the situation, while the body camera footage provides a public record of the events surrounding his arrest.
