We’re beginning to learn more about Tiger Woods’ arrest in Jupiter, Florida.

On Friday, Woods was arressted after flipping over his car while speeding, and clipping another driver that was leaving their driveway.

According to TMZ, Woods flunked several field sobriety tests, but tested 0.0 on a breathalyzer test. Police suspected that Woods was under the influence of medications after the golfer told them he was recovering from several injuries, and surgeries.

Deputies quickly observed Tiger appeared impaired and lethargic. They conducted an alcohol test and it registered 0.00%. Sheriff John Budensiek said, during the news conference, he believes Tiger was not under the influence of alcohol, but rather medication.

Tiger was placed under arrest and taken to the station, where he refused a urine test. He was booked on DUI and refusal to submit to the urinalysis.

The driver of the pickup truck tried to turn into a driveway, but the Range Rover was going at such a high speed that the pickup truck could not fully enter the driveway, and Tiger clipped that vehicle, causing the Range Rover to flip over on the driver’s side.

Martin County Sheriff’s Office John Budensiek says Tiger Woods did "exemplify signs of impairment" and was placed under arrest at Martin County jail. Been charged with DUI with property damage.

TMZ’s Harvey Levin explains why Woods could face jail time.

“By failing to take the urine test, he’ll have his license suspended probably for a year. But more seriously is he could get jail time. And what is relevant here is that in 2017, Tiger got another DUI, a previous one in the same area. And in that case, the authorities say he was under the influence of medication. So he has a previous DUI, and the judge in this case could take that into account in sentencing. It’s not a mandatory sentence, but the judge could take it into account.”
