- According to a police affidavit released on Tuesday, police observed Woods “sweating profusely” and acting “lethargic and slow” with “bloodshot and glassy” eyes, and found hydrocodone pills in his vehicle.
- Woods admitted to “looking down at his cell phone and changing the radio station” before the crash, and refused a urinary drug test.
- This incident follows previous arrests for DUI in 2017 and a serious car accident in 2021 which resulted in multiple leg injuries.
