The golf great crashed his SUV in one of the strictest counties in the Sunshine State — and prosecutors will be eager to make an example out of the billionaire with a history of bad behavior. “He’s in for a legal dogfight, in my opinion,” Matthew Olszewski, an Orlando attorney who specializes in DUI cases, told The Post.
“They’re going to be trying to prove a message and what bigger message to prove than, ‘Even if you’re Tiger Woods, you do this in our county and we’re going to slam you.'”“Tiger is going to have to put up the best defense that you know he can buy and try to combat that.” and car wrecks, was not drunk at the time of Friday’s crash, but said he appeared to be under the influence of “some type of medication or drug.” The athlete looked glassy-eyed in a mugshot, taken shortly after the Friday incident in which he rolled his SUV as he tried to overtake a utility truck and ended up clipping the other vehicle.The burning questions about Tiger Woods’ golf, Ryder Cup future after stunning DUI arrest Tiger Woods ‘drives like a bat out of hell very often’ but wasn’t abusing ‘illegal drugs,’ friend says The athlete was famously arrested in 2017 after being found unconscious behind the wheel of his running car while high on a cocktail of prescription painkillers, but he took a plea deal for reckless driving and served a year of probation. in California that left him with multiple leg fractures and required immediate major surgery, though no drug use was suspected in that incident. “But, especially considering the county that he’s in, given his prior DUI arrest and then his other driving issues that he’s had in the past, I would suspect that the prosecutor and especially the judge will certainly take that into account going forward on how they handled the case,” said Olszewski, who was named Florida’s best DUI defense attorney in 2018.While a judge could order Woods to submit a urine test as a condition of his release, it might not prove when or how much drugs he had taken before getting behind the wheel. Additionally, if a test comes back positive for prescription medication, Woods would be in the clear. Plus, it’s plausible the “lethargic” behavior that led police to believe Woods was under the influence may have been caused by the crash itself, said Olszewski. Prosecutors will likely point to Woods’ refusal to provide a urine sample as an admission of guilt — something cops have already started claiming.Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Friday that Woods refused to comply with the urine test simply because he was not “trying to incriminate himself.” “Everyone understands that after you’re arrested, you have the right to remain silent. And Tiger was simply exercising that right. He has every single right under the Constitution to not provide any evidence to the state after he’s been arrested,” said Olszewski. At this time, Olszewski theorizes that Woods has the “upper hand” in the case given his urine test refusal and that authorities could struggle to prove he was high, but expects a fierce fight from both sides. “It should be a battle that’s going to go on for at least the next couple of months,” said Olszewski.Stalker arrested for tracking Billie Eilish is killed by LIRR train: officialsWhy Princess Beatrice is considering moving to the US after her parents’ Epstein scandal ‘Love Story’ Ending Explained: Were JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette Planning Their Divorce When Their Plane Crashed? “I’m So Sorry, Mommy”: Savannah Guthrie’s Teary ‘Today’ Apology To Her Missing Mother Will Break Your Heart Howie Mandel Sparks Tense Moment On ‘Live’ After Finding Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ Compliment Backhanded: “Like Saying, ‘You’re Smart For A Stupid Person’” Starbucks’ Hannah Montana Drink Flavor Fail Sends Fans Into Furious Frenzy: “Did We FORGET In The Show She HATES Raspberry”Former Tiger Woods employee blasts golf pro as 'terrible driver,' reveals why he likely refused urine sample after arrest Stream It Or Skip It: 'Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole' On Netflix, Where A Troubled Detective Tracks Down A Serial Killer Who Is Terrorizing Oslo
