Tiger Woods Accident Case Closed Without Criminal Charges

Bill Sharpe, an attorney for the neighbors, said Woods’ injuries were “consistent with a car wreck and inconsistent with him being beat up. The scratches on his face were consistent with someone who maybe was in a minor car accident and hit his head on the windshield. … None of his injuries looked like he was beat up by his wife.” “Mrs. Woods's attitude was consistent with her being concerned about her injured husband”, Sharpe said. Mrs. Woods was trying to help him. Mrs. Woods was worried about her husband. She was concerned.” Woods faces a $164 fine and four points against his driver’s license, not close to enough to have it suspended. The citation closes the investigation of last week’s crash. The patrol “is not pursuing criminal charges in this matter nor is there any testimony or other evidence to support any additional charges of any kind other than the charge of careless driving,” Sgt. Kim Montes said. According to an accident report, Woods crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree at 2:25 a.m. Friday. The airbags did not deploy and Woods’ wife told Windermere police she used a golf club to smash the back windows to help him out. Woods withdrew Monday from his own golf tournament, citing injuries from the crash. An attorney for the neighbors who dialed 911 after the crash said Woods did not appear to be driving under the influence and showed no signs of having been in a fight. There were no claims of domestic violence and insufficient evidence to subpoena any medical information.
