Tiger Woods arrested for DUI, released from jail, looks like 20 miles of bad road

Tiger Woods with bloodshot eyes

Tiger Woods was arrested on Friday for allegedly driving under the influence after a car crash that left his vehicle rolled over on the driver's side. [The term 'allegedly' is used here to avoid legal ramifications.] As luck would have it, he didn't kill anyone in this, his third accident.

The golfer was released from jail Friday night.

In a mugshot released hours after his arrest, Woods' eyes appeared bloodshot, as he donned a fashionable blue polo inside the Martin County Jail in Florida.

Woods was seen leaving the jail in the passenger seat of a black SUV after his release on bail late Friday, according to The Associated Press.

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek confirmed in a news conference that Woods was traveling at "a high rate of speed" when his vehicle collided with another car, resulting in his vehicle rolling over onto the driver's side.

Authorities said Woods "exemplified signs of impairment." He blew "triple-zeroes" for alcohol but refused a urine test, which possibly [aka likely] indicates he was drug-impaired.

"DUI investigators came to the scene here, and Mr. Woods did exemplify signs of impairment. They did several tests on him. Of course, he did explain the injuries and the surgeries that he had. We did take that into account, but they did do some in-depth roadside tests," Budensiek added. 

But no warrant for a blood draw was requested, as is often the case with less famous people and Woods was off the hook, at least in part.

"We really weren't suspicious of alcohol being involved in this case, and that proved to be true at the jail. … But when it came time for us to ask for a urinalysis test, he refused. And, so, he's been charged with DUI, with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test."

Woods was spotted on the phone after the crash, wearing fashionable navy blue shorts.

The golfer was charged with DUI, property damage and refusal to submit to a test, all misdemeanor charges. No one was injured, authorities said. Woods was alone in the car and crawled out of the passenger door after the crash.

The man who hits little white balls into little holes was driven from the Martin County Jail after being arrested for driving under the influence following a car crash on March 27, 2026, in Stuart, Florida. "This could've been a lot worse," Budensiek noted.

Yes, he could have killed someone and/or himself, but he was lucky once again.

President Donald Trump commented on the arrest of his "very close friend."

"I feel so badly. He's got some difficulty," Trump said. "There was an accident, and that's all I know. Very close friend of mine. He's an amazing person, an amazing man, but some difficulty." Woods has not commented on the arrest.

Woods currently is dating Trump's ex-daughter-in-law, Vanessa, whose daughter, Kai, is set to play college golf in Miami next week.

This is Woods' second DUI arrest within the last decade. In 2017, he was taken into custody, also in Jupiter Island, after taking prescription drugs and being asleep behind the wheel of a running car at 3 a.m.

In 2021, he got into a wreck that resulted in serious leg injuries that kept him off the golf course for the entire year.

Woods made his return to competitive golf earlier this week in the TGL championship after rupturing his Achilles just before last year's Masters (this year's tournament is in less than two weeks). Woods has not appeared on the links since the 2024 PGA Championship, in which he missed the cut.

Biden administration shielded him from deportation and now he's arrested for brutal beach attack

The Biden administration waved this guy in, shielded him from deportation, and now he's been arrested for trying to drown a woman at a Florida beach. This is the kind of story that makes you wonder what exactly "border security" meant under the old regime under a brain-addled POTUS.

Conservative outlet, The Daily Wire, broke the exclusive: Venezuelan illegal immigrant Said Alexander Hernandez Gonzalez, 26, allegedly targeted a woman who was simply walking and chatting on the phone with her sister around 11 p.m. last Thursday at Tiger Shores Beach in Stuart. 

Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek laid it out during a Monday press conference, and it's as brutal as it sounds.

This guy was paroled into the U.S. in 2023 courtesy of the Biden circus, then handed temporary protected status, which basically slapped a "do not deport" sticker on him, per the Department of Homeland Security's confirmation to the outlet.

Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin's statement: "Said Alexander Hernandez Gonzalez, a product of the Biden administration's open-border policies brutally attacked a woman on the beach and attempted to drown and kill her."

McLaughlin continued: "She bravely fought back and survived this wicked attack. ICE has lodged an immigration detainer with the Martin County Sheriff's office, and because of Florida's cooperation with ICE, this sicko will never walk American streets again. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S."

Hernandez Gonzalez allegedly came up from behind, grabbed her by the throat, shoved her into the ocean, and held her under in a savage 3-5 minute struggle. The sheriff described how she fought like hell: "During that struggle, she punched him, she grabbed his groin area trying to get him to release her."

He just kept going: "He said he just held her down until she went limp," Budensiek said. Thinking he'd finished the job, the Venezuelan bolted, leaving her unconscious on the beach. Miraculously, she came to and flagged down a nearby officer to report it. Deputies scoured the area for two days with nothing.

Then Sunday night rolls around, a woman calls Port St. Lucie PD saying her boyfriend is "suicidal." Cops show up, and Hernandez Gonzalez starts confessing that he'd murdered a woman on a nearby beach. 

Martin County detectives swooped in, confirmed that he's their guy. He admitted he was at the beach smoking marijuana and drinking vodka when he spotted her, got angry for whatever twisted reason, attacked, and tried to drown her. He told investigators he "stopped when he believed she was dead." Before fleeing, he grabbed her cell phone and chucked it into the ocean.

Then he went back to his car, downed more weed and booze, and took off. And when asked if he felt any remorse? "When asked if he was remorseful, Hernandez Gonzalez stated he felt nothing."

He's now facing attempted murder charges. 

This is the predictable fallout from policies that prioritized catch-and-release over actual enforcement. The victim thankfully survived, but the fact that this monster was here at all, shielded from removal, says everything about the prior administration's priorities. Under the current setup, at least ICE is on it, and Florida's playing ball.
