Court documents revealed on Tuesday that professional golfer Tiger Woods is planning to alter his not guilty plea in a DUI case from March. The incident took place when Woods' Land Rover struck a truck on a residential road on Jupiter Island, Florida, and subsequently rolled over. Woods was initially arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
According to the incident report, the golfer sustained $5,000 worth of damage to the truck and managed to exit the vehicle unharmed. Woods claimed he was distracted by his phone and adjusting the radio when the collision occurred. He agreed to a Breathalyzer test, which returned negative results for alcohol, but refused a urine test.
The report also stated that two pain pills were found in Woods' pocket, and he exhibited signs of impairment. This is the fourth serious accident Woods has been involved in since 2009. To facilitate the legal proceedings, Judge Darren Steele granted prosecutors access to Woods' medical records and prescription medication records from a Palm Beach pharmacy.
