Woods

The deputy who arrested Tiger Woods on suspicion of driving under the influence said Woods had pain pills in his pocket and showed signs of impairment at the scene of his car crash last week in Florida, according to her arrest report released Tuesday.

The arrest report for Woods, who pleaded not guilty to a DUI charge, sheds light on the circumstances that led to his second DUI arrest — the latest off-course trouble for the pro golfer whose name is synonymous with the sport.

Martin County Sheriff’s deputy Tatiana Levenar reported that Woods told her he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station when his Land Rover that was traveling at high speeds clipped the back of a truck and rolled onto its side on a residential road on Jupiter Island. Woods nor the driver of the truck were injured.

After the truck driver and another person helped Woods crawl out of the overturned vehicle, Levenar made contact with him, and detailed the interactions that led to his arrest on suspicion of DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.

A deputy found two white pills in Woods’ pants pocket while searching him after the crash. The marks on the pills identified them as hydrocodone, according to the report. Hydrocodone is an opioid that is prescribed for pain, and was among the potentially addictive medications that were central to the U.S. opioid epidemic.

Woods has had many surgeries on his legs and back over the last two decades. Some of the surgeries were to treat injuries including cartilage and ligament damage, a ruptured tendon, arthritis, and damaged discs in his back.

The deputy wrote in the report that during a field sobriety test, she observed Woods limping and a compression sock over his right knee. He told the deputy that he takes a few prescription medications, according to the report, including “Vicodin” — a brand name drug containing hydrocodone that was taken off the market several years ago. People still commonly refer to generic hydrocodone medications as Vicodin.
