Bodycam footage shows Tiger Woods surprised over DUI arrest

Tiger Woods was surprised that he was being handcuffed after crashing his SUV last week in Florida, per body camera footage released Thursday.

"I'm being arrested?" Woods asked of Martin County Sheriff's deputy Tatiana Levenar, who conducted a sobriety test on him.

"I do believe your normal faculties are impaired, and you're under an unknown substance, so at this time you're under arrest for DUI," Levenar told the 15-time major champion.

The footage also shows deputies removing two pills from Woods' pocket.

"That's a Norco," Woods said after an officer removed the pills, which are a painkiller. Authorities later confirmed that Woods was in possession of hydrocodone.

Woods contends that he was looking at his phone and changing the radio station when his Land Rover clipped the back of a truck and rolled onto its side on Jupiter Island, Fla.

The release of the bodycam footage comes one day after Woods was granted a request by a Florida judge to leave the United States to enter a comprehensive inpatient treatment facility as he faces misdemeanor driving under the influence charges.

Martin County Court Judge Darren Steele granted the motion to travel submitted by Woods' attorney, Douglas Duncan, who cited the 50-year-old golf superstar's need for an "intensive, highly individualized and medically integrated program" away from media and public scrutiny.

Woods released a public statement on Tuesday and entered a plea of not guilty in a Florida court to charges of misdemeanor driving under the influence with property damage.

The arrest affidavit stated a breathalyzer test showed no signs of alcohol, but that Woods refused a urinalysis test for other drugs.

The affidavit stated Woods was "sweating profusely," his movements were "lethargic and slow," his eyes were "bloodshot and glassy," his pupils were "extremely dilated" and that during the field sobriety exercises, Woods was "limping and stumbling to the right."
