Golf legend Tiger Woods was arrested for DUI Friday after a rollover crash on Jupiter Island, according to Florida authorities.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office told NBC News the crash happened just after 2 p.m. along South Beach Road near Hobe Sound Beach. Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods was attempting to pass a truck at a high rate of speed when he clipped its back end and flipped his Land Rover. Both drivers escaped injury, and Woods crawled out through the passenger door.
“They believe from on scene that he was not impaired on alcohol, they believe that it was some type of medication or drug,” Budensiek said. “He was lethargic on scene but that we believe was because of what he was intoxicated on.”
According to Kiro7.com, Budensiek described Woods as lethargic. Woods reportedly agreed to a breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test and was arrested.
Florida law required that he spend at least eight hours in jail before he could post bail, which Woods did before his release.
