Tiger Woods' plea deal in DUI case: 5 things to know as driver's license suspended with bold ‘jail’ warning
Tiger Woods has entered a no contest plea for reckless driving and refusal to comply with a lawful test, leading to a five-year license suspension
On Wednesday, Tiger Woods entered a plea deal regarding his impaired-driving case, leading to a five-year suspension of his driver's license. In Martin County Circuit Court, Florida, Woods pleaded no contest to reckless driving and refusal to comply with a lawful test. A no-contest plea does not admit guilt, but rather indicates the defendant will not present a defense, equivalent to a conviction.
Woods was arrested on March 27 after his SUV crashed into a trailer, causing it to roll over. He had initially denied the charges but later pleaded no contest. Woods, accompanied by his girlfriend Vanessa Trump, appeared in court. At the time of his arrest, Woods admitted to taking two hydrocodone pills. Following the incident, Woods issued a statement on social media acknowledging the gravity of the situation and seeking treatment.
