The charges stem from a March 27 rollover crash on South Beach Road on Jupiter Island. Investigators say Woods attempted to pass a pickup truck towing a trailer, crossed over double solid lines, and struck the trailer, causing his SUV to flip onto its side. No serious injuries were reported.
Earlier this month, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office released body-worn camera footage from deputies who responded to the crash, offering additional detail about the moments after impact and the subsequent DUI investigation. In the footage, Woods tells deputies he was looking down at his phone and adjusting the radio when the crash occurred.
“I looked down at my phone and all of a sudden, boom,” he can be heard saying.
According to a probable cause affidavit referenced alongside the video, deputies reported signs of impairment, including bloodshot and glassy eyes, dilated pupils, and lethargic movements. Two pills later identified as hydrocodone were found loose in Woods’ pocket during a search, the affidavit states. Woods told deputies he had not consumed alcohol and cited previous back and leg surgeries while attempting field sobriety exercises.

Woods pleaded not guilty to the charges and waived his arraignment. He remains free on bond. A judge has also granted Woods permission to travel out of the country for inpatient treatment while the case proceeds, provided he returns for future court appearances as ordered.
As of this filing, no trial date has been set beyond the May 5 court appearance.
