Despite a Clean Breathalyzer Result of Triple Zeros – He Refused a Urinalysis
By SyndicatedNews Legal Eagle | SNN.BZ
Tiger Woods was arrested for driving under the influence on Friday, March 27, 2026, after a rollover crash on Jupiter Island, Florida. While Woods’ breathalyzer test returned a result of 0.000, authorities determined he was clearly impaired and arrested him after he refused a urinalysis.
The Incident and Arrest
The arrest occurred just before 2:00 p.m. near Woods’ home on Jupiter Island. According to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek, Woods was driving a Land Rover at high speed when he attempted to pass a pickup truck on a two-lane residential road with a 30 mph limit.
- The Breathalyzer: Woods blew “triple zeroes,” confirming no alcohol was in his system.
- The Refusal: At the jail, Woods refused to submit to a urine test, which led to an additional charge for refusal to submit to a lawful test.
- Signs of Impairment: Despite the lack of alcohol, investigators noted Woods “exemplified signs of impairment” during in-depth roadside tests.
- Charges: Woods faces charges of DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test.
Other Driver and Vehicle Details
The crash involved a pickup truck pulling a trailer with a pressure washer.
- The Driver: The driver of the truck, who has not been publicly identified by name, reported seeing Woods overtaking him at high speeds in his rearview mirror.
- The Collision: The driver tried to move off the road, but there was no shoulder. Woods clipped the back of the truck’s trailer, causing the Land Rover to roll onto its driver’s side and slide.
- Injuries: No injuries were reported for either Woods or the driver of the pickup truck.
History of Substance Use
This incident mirrors a 2017 DUI arrest where Woods was found asleep at the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz.
- 2017 Toxicology: A toxicology report later revealed a “cocktail” of five different drugs in his system: Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien, and THC.
- Past Explanations: In previous incidents, Woods attributed his impairment to an “unexpected reaction” to a mix of prescription medications for back pain and sleep disorders.
