Tiger Woods in trouble again: Arrested at crash scene on suspicion of DUI, sheriff says

[True Dough]

This guy is really having trouble controlling his demons.

Tiger Woods showed signs of impairment and was arrested Friday at the scene of a car crash in which he struck another vehicle and rolled his Land Rover, authorities said.

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods was not injured. He was able to crawl out of the passenger side of his vehicle. He was believed to be impaired by medication, and was arrested on suspicion of DUI, Budensiek said.

The crash occurred just after 2 p.m. not far from where Woods lives on Jupiter Island. Budensiek said Woods attempted to pass a pressure cleaner truck while driving on a two-land road. The Land Rover swerved to avoid a collision as he was passing the truck, but clipped the back end of the truck's trailer. Woods' car then rolled onto its driver's side.

Budensiek said investigators at the scene found Woods to be showing signs of impairment. He did a breathalyzer test, which came out negative, but he refused to take a urine test. Authorities charged him with driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test, Budensiek said. Both charges are misdemeanors.

6. Update:

Tiger Woods told authorities that he was looking down at his cell phone and changing the radio station in his SUV, which caused him not to see a truck slowing down before his rollover crash last week on Jupiter Island, Florida.

Martin County Sheriff's deputy Tatiana Levenar wrote in an arrest affidavit that Woods was "sweating profusely," and his movement was "lethargic and slow" while she interviewed him.

Woods, 50, was arrested last Friday on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Friday that Woods' breathalyzer test didn't show signs of alcohol. Woods refused to submit to a urinalysis test for other drugs, according to the sheriff.

7. Reckless driving can be less an offense than DUI, I believe
