NEED TO KNOW
- Tiger Woods is seen in the moments after his rollover car crash on March 27 in newly released police bodycam footage
- Woods is seen asking, "I'm being arrested?" after an officer tells him she believes his "normal faculties are impaired"
- An officer is seen removing items from Woods' pockets, including two opioid pills
New bodycam footage shows the moment Tiger Woods was arrested on a DUI charge.
The 50-year-old golfer is seen speaking to police and participating in field sobriety tests in the videos, released by the Martin County Sheriff's Office and shared by local news station WPBF on Thursday, April 2.
As he's being handcuffed in the video, Woods asked, "I'm being arrested?" while a police office tells him, "At this time, I do believe your normal faculties are impaired."
In the video, the golfer is seen telling officers he has nothing on his person that could poke them and denies having any weapons or drugs on him as police are seen searching him down. The footage shows an officer removing cash, a pair of AirPods, a container of nicotine-free "focus pouches" and two opioid pills from Woods' pocket during the search.
Woods is seen telling the officers the pills are "Norco" — which could refer to a prescription opioid that combines hydrocodone and acetaminophen — as the male officer puts the pills in an evidence bag. The police affidavit, obtained by PEOPLE on Tuesday, stated that the pills were hydrocodone.
Another video of police bodycam footage released by WPBF on Thursday shows Woods telling an officer, "I looked down at my phone, and boom," after the rollover crash.
The release of the bodycam footage comes one day after a Florida judge granted Woods permission to leave the United States to seek treatment due to "privacy" concerns. According to documents reviewed by PEOPLE, Woods' treating physician recommended he seek treatment at a facility out of the country "based upon the Defendant's complex clinical presentation the urgent need for a level of care that cannot safely or effectively be done within the United States."
The request to leave the country for treatment was also made due to concerns that the golfer's "privacy has been repeatedly compromised."
"Ongoing medical scrutiny and public exposure create significant barriers to his care and would result in setbacks and an inability to fully engage in treatment," Woods' lawyer, Douglas Duncan, argued in the filing.
