Tiger Woods has pleaded not guilty to\u00a0DUI charges<\/a>\u00a0connected to his\u00a0rollover crash<\/a>\u00a0in Florida last week.<\/p>\n

Woods entered the plea on Tuesday, four days after he was\u00a0hauled into custody<\/a>\u00a0following the collision in his hometown of Jupiter Island,\u00a0Page Six reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The golfer allegedly told arresting officers that he had popped several pills earlier that morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a few,\u201d he allegedly replied when questioned if he\u2019d taken any medication prior to the accident.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The golfing phenomenon was reportedly \u201clethargic and slow\u201d and had dilated pupils and \u201cbloodshot and glassy\u201d eyes in the immediate aftermath of the crash.<\/p>\n

He blew a negative on the breathalyzer and underwent field sobriety tests \u2014 but refused a urinalysis at the scene.<\/p>\n

Woods was ultimately charged with driving under the influence with property damage and refusing a lawful test.<\/p>\n

He reportedly waived his arraignment and demanded a jury trial for his latest DUI bust.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2017, Woods was busted driving under the influence when he was found asleep behind the wheel with the engine running, the right blinker on, two flat tires, and light damage to the driver\u2019s side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tests showed he had Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien and THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, in his system at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Four years later, in 2021, the crash-prone golfer had a near-death experience after he was involved in a high-speed, single-car collision in Los Angeles that fractured multiple bones in his legs, requiring immediate surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tiger Woods has pleaded not guilty to\u00a0DUI charges\u00a0connected to his\u00a0rollover crash\u00a0in Florida last week.
