Tiger Woods Arrested for DUI: Jailed Golfer Refuses Drug Test After High-Speed Rollover Car Crash in Florida

Tiger Woods has been arrested and charged with a DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test after being involved in a terrifying rollover collision in Jupiter Island, Fla.

In a press conference on Friday, March 27, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek confirmed Woods, 50, had been taken into police custody after authorities determined he was impaired while driving the Land Rover involved in a high-speed car crash hours earlier.

"Just before 2 p.m. today the Jupiter Island Police Department received a call about a rollover crash about two and a half miles from where we are," the sheriff explained. "The Jupiter Island Police Department responded out there and found a pickup truck pulling a pressure cleaner trailer and a Land Rover which was rolled over on the driver’s door."

"The investigation started and initially right off the top it did appear that the driver of the Land Rover might be impaired," Budensiek revealed before identifying Woods as the individual suspected to be under the influence.

The sheriff said his department's investigation found that a "pressure cleaner truck was northbound on South Beach Road and was pulling kind of to turn into a driveway" when the "driver of that vehicle looked in his mirror and saw a dark colored Land Rover overtaking him at high speeds."

While the driver of the pickup truck "saw him coming," Budensiek noted there "was no shoulder for this pressure cleaner gentleman to get off the road," causing Woods' vehicle to "clip the back end of the trailer and roll on the driver's door."

The driver of the Land Rover was "able to crawl out of the passenger side of the car and was identified to be Mr. Tiger Woods," the sheriff confirmed. "Our DUI investigators came to the scene here and Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment."

"He did explain the injuries and the surgeries he had and we did take that into account," Budensiek admitted of Woods' history of medical issues.

While police "really weren’t suspicious of alcohol," with Woods blowing a 0.00 into his breathalyzer test, the sheriff added, "But when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused."

Budensiek said no one involved in the crash was injured.

"He was cooperative but he was not trying to incriminate himself," the sheriff mentioned of Woods' behavior after the crash.

Budensiek pointed out "there is a Florida state statute that requires us to keep people incarcerated for at least eight hours post-DUI arrest."

"He's in our jail he will be there for at least eight hours and then he'll be released on bond if he posts bond," the officer explained of Woods.

A chilling photo captured at the scene showed Woods' car lying on its driver's side.

In reaction to Friday's collision, social media users expressed disappointment in the legendary athlete and urged him to quit getting behind the wheel for good.

"He needs to hire a driver," one person suggested via Facebook, as another social media user declared, "Don't ever drive with Tiger."
