RadioOnFire.com - Details have surfaced to provide a clearer picture as to what prompted Florida police to detain Tiger Woods. It was initially assumed that the golf great was intoxicated when he was taken into custody at around 3 a.m. on Monday, May 29, as news that broke about his arrest for DUI was followed up by a viral-bound mug shot that showed him looking disheveled. Woods would later issue a statement in which he clarified that he hadn't had a drink, and was rather, suffering from the effects of a bad mix of medication.
It is now confirmed that Woods' breathalyzer test indeed registered a 0.00 blood-alcohol level after he was found asleep behind the wheel of a running vehicle. Woods would still be taken in and booked, however, with officers citing that his speech was "slow, sluggish and very slurred" and that he had failed to walk a straight line or balance on one foot during roadside tests. The police report also gives an account of Woods having confused directions to say the alphabet backward by assuming that he was being asked to rather recite the national anthem backward.
Officers characterized Woods having been "cooperative as much as possible," but noted that he was "very loopy, extremely sleepy" and struggled to keep his eyes open." Before admitting that he had been on several prescription drugs he is reported to have changed his story on where he was coming from and where he was headed, at one point conceding that he was unaware of his whereabouts. Jupiter police kept Woods in custody for more than 7 hours, until he was able to go on his own recognizance at 10:50 a.m.
