The arrest report, now released to the press, shows that Woods was “sweating profusely,” despite being in a white Ford F-150 with air conditioning, and spoke in an “unusual” manner with officers, with dilated pupils.
Although no alcohol use was detected, Woods refused a urine test for other substances, and police found two hydrocodone tablets in the left pocket of his pants, according to the report.
This medication is an FDA-approved painkiller for severe chronic pain but is also an opioid “documented in national forensic lab reports” for “illicit use and abuse,” according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
The report added that the golfer was unsteady and admitted to taking a controlled medication.

“Based on my observations of Woods, the way he performed the exercises (for the breathalyzer test), and based on my training, knowledge, and experience, I believed his normal faculties were impaired and that he was not able to safely operate a vehicle,” wrote officer Tatania Levenar of the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.
Woods, 50, told authorities that he had been looking at his phone and changing the radio station at the time of the collision, which caused the accident in Jupiter Island.
The 15-time major champion was driving an SUV at high speed on Friday around 2:00 p.m. local time when he tried to pass a cleaning truck towing a small trailer.
The sudden swerve caused Woods’ SUV to roll over, forcing him to exit through a window. The police detained the golfer, who was released the following morning after several hours in custody following the crash.
