Police officials in the United States have made public the bodycam video recording of the arrest of renowned golfer Tiger Woods. The sports icon was charged with suspicion of driving under the influence following his involvement in a rollover car accident in Martin County, Florida last week.
Despite being 50 years old, Woods has entered a plea of not guilty and has been allowed to depart the US to attend an international rehabilitation center. In a released statement, he acknowledged the gravity of the incident.
Recently disclosed body camera footage from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office captures the moment of Woods’ arrest at the scene of the flipped car. The footage also documents his interaction with law enforcement officers as he knelt down and conversed with them.
Woods recounted the events leading to the crash, mentioning that he looked at his phone before the impact. Subsequently, officers conducted a physical check on Woods for any injuries.
In a separate incident, the other driver involved in the collision confirmed to police that Woods was responsible for the crash. Additional footage shows Woods, attired in a blue polo shirt, apparently dozing off in the back of a police vehicle. Reports indicate that he passed a breathalyzer test but declined to provide a urine sample, revealing his use of pain medication.
In a formal statement on Tuesday, Woods expressed his acknowledgment of the severity of the situation, announcing his decision to seek treatment and focus on his well-being. He emphasized the importance of taking time for recovery and requested privacy for himself and his family during this period.
Initially expected to lead Team USA at the upcoming Ryder Cup in Ireland, Woods declined the role following his arrest, as confirmed by the PGA of America. The organization praised his commitment to his health and stated its support for his decision.
Subsequently, a court ruling in Martin County approved Woods’ admission to an international rehab facility, with his attorney citing the need for specialized care due to privacy concerns in the US.
