Tiger Woods Plans Plea Change In Florida DUI Case
Tiger Woods is involved in a driving-under-the-influence case in Florida.
The case began after his Land Rover hit a truck and rolled onto its side in March.
The crash happened on Jupiter Island, where the speed limit was 30 miles per hour.
Woods was not injured and said he had been looking at his phone and changing the radio.
He first told the court that he was not guilty.
Court papers now say he plans to change that plea, but they do not say what the new plea will be.
A test found no alcohol, but authorities said he refused another test and showed signs of impairment.
Deputies also reported finding two hydrocodone pills in his pocket.
Woods later traveled outside the United States for treatment, according to court records.
Court documents say Tiger Woods plans to change his not-guilty plea in a Florida DUI case.
The case stems from a March rollover crash on Jupiter Island involving Woods’ Land Rover and a truck.
Authorities said Woods was traveling at high speed, looking at his phone and changing the radio when he hit the truck.
A Breathalyzer detected no alcohol, but Woods refused a urine test; deputies reported impairment signs and two hydrocodone pain pills.
Woods is scheduled for a Wednesday plea conference, while prosecutors have received access to specified medical and prescription records.
