Police bodycam footage shows Tiger Woods' arrest

Bodycam footage has emerged of Tiger Woods' arrest following his crash in Florida last week.  The golf legend was charged with driving under the influence after he attempted to overtake a truck at "high speeds" and rolled the Land Rover he was driving on Friday.

Woods pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence. Newly released bodycam footage shows Woods in sunglasses as he kneels on the side of the road while police are at the scene.

"Looked down at my phone and all of a sudden, boom," the 50-year-old told an officer. After conducting a sobriety test on Woods, Martin County Sheriff's deputy Tatiana Levenar told him: "I do believe your normal faculties are impaired, and you're under an unknown substance, so at this time you're under arrest for DUI." "I'm being arrested?" Woods responded as he stood alongside the road.

"Yes sir," deputy Levenar said. After handcuffing Woods, authorities searched his pockets and found two white pills.

"That's a Norco," Woods said after an officer pulled out the pills, referring to a painkiller that contains acetaminophen and the opioid hydrocodone. Authorities would later confirm that Woods was in possession of hydrocodone.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office incident report said Woods had hydrocodone pills - used to treat pain - in his pocket and bloodshot eyes at the scene of his crash. It described Woods' movements as slow and lethargic when speaking to deputies at the scene.

The report also said Woods appeared to be sweating as he spoke to deputies, his eyes looked glassy, and his pupils were dilated. Woods said earlier this week he was "stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment" after being charged with driving under the influence.

In a statement, he said: "I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. "I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health.

"This is necessary in order for me to prioritise my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.".
