Tiger Woods namedropped President Trump during his DUI arrest.
Last Friday, Woods was arrested after flipping over his car. Officers at the scene noted that Woods appeared impaired despite not having alcohol in his system.
According to the arrest affidavit, deputies say Woods showed multiple signs of impairment from the jump … sweating heavily, moving slowly, speaking “thick tongued” and even stumbling as he walked. At one point, authorities noted he appeared to be limping and needed instructions repeated during testing.
When law enforcement had him perform the standard eye test, they observed bloodshot, glassy eyes and dilated pupils — along with a lack of smooth tracking, a key indicator investigators look for in DUI cases.
On Thursday, police released bodycam footage of Woods’ arrest, which shows the golfer telling officers that he had just spoken to President Trump on the phone.
“I was talking to the President” Woods told an officer.
