Court documents show Tiger Woods plans to change not guilty plea in DUI case in Florida
STUART, Fla. (AP) — Court documents revealed on Tuesday that golf legend Tiger Woods intends to alter his not guilty plea in a DUI case linked to a rollover accident in Florida. According to the report, Woods was allegedly traveling at excessive speed on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island, exceeding the 30 mph speed limit, when his Land Rover struck a truck, causing $5,000 worth of damage.
Despite showing no signs of alcohol intoxication during a Breathalyzer test, Woods refused to undergo a urine test. A sheriff's report highlighted that two pain pills were found in his pocket, and he exhibited signs of impairment. The incident marked Woods' fourth accident since 2009. In July, Judge Darren Steele permitted prosecutors to access Woods' medical records related to the crash and arrest.
In May, a similar agreement was granted, allowing prosecutors access to all prescription medication records for Woods in a Palm Beach pharmacy from January to March.
