Tiger Woods to change plea after crash arrest
The golfer will be in court on Wednesday for a hearing to change his plea after being charged with driving under the influence.
Five months after a rollover crash in Florida, Tiger Woods is set to change his plea in court, according to court records. The incident occurred in March when the golfer was arrested for driving under the influence following a crash that did not result in any injuries. Woods had failed a breathalyzer test but refused further testing for other drugs.
He initially pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and refusal to submit to testing. Woods, 50, claimed he was seeking treatment for his health after the incident. However, the nature of the change in his plea remains unclear as of now. Police released body camera footage in April that showed Woods after the accident, where he appeared calm but reported having consumed medication earlier that day.
Police found two white pills in his pocket, which were identified as hydrocodone, an opioid commonly prescribed for pain. This marks Woods' second arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
