Tiger Woods was arrested on Driving Under the Influence charges on Friday following a scary rollover crash near Jupiter Island. The chaos unfolded on a quiet two-lane road when his Land Rover tried to pass a pickup. This heavy truck was pulling a pressure cleaner trailer when Woods clipped its sturdy metal back. The impact forced the luxury vehicle to roll onto the driver’s side and slide across the hot pavement.
Luckily, Woods crawled out of the passenger door without any major injuries. Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek noted that the driver appeared very lethargic and showed clear signs of significant physical impairment. Officers administered a breathalyzer test, and the golf legend blew a surprising 0.00 for any alcohol use. Despite this clean result, he refused a urinalysis, leading to a mandatory eight-hour stay in local custody.
Authorities believe medication, rather than alcohol, caused the disorientation during this Friday afternoon crash, not far from his Jupiter Island home. He was charged with misdemeanors.

Fans hoped for a legendary comeback at the upcoming Masters. Unfortunately, this latest roadside drama shifts the focus from a comeback to something more serious altogether.
This is a developing story.
