Woods was expected to be detained for at least eight hours following his arrest and had to post bail as part of protocol in the state, according to Budensiek.
Budensiek stated during a March 27 press conference that Woods was cooperative following the crash. The sheriff said that Woods appeared to be impaired when officers first made contact with him at the scene, but drugs or medication were not found at the scene. Alcohol was ruled out by authorities as not having been a factor.

The golfer was driving a Land Rover northbound at high speeds before overtaking a truck pulling a trailer with a pressure cleaner and clipping it. The speed limit posted was 30 mph.
The Land Rover did not fully roll over and was seen on its side.
“This could have been a lot worse,” Budensiek said.
The incident occurred about three miles from Woods’ home, according to public property records.
