Billionaire gone wild ?!?! 0
Drunk or sober Tiger Woods is facing the firestorm of news and media with his possible DUI this past Friday.
Earlier in the morning this past Friday (27 Nov 2009) Tiger Woods crashed his SUV near his home in Florida. Florida Highway Patrol confirmed Woods’ continues stonewalling the investigation into Friday morning’s scandal-plagued crash, saying the golf pro’s lawyer had handed over the basics—license, proof of insurance, etc., but offered absolutely nothing more, least of all, any face time with investigators.
Contrary to various media reports, the Florida Highway Patrol has not made any comments regarding the details of the ongoing crash investigation involving Tiger Woods as it related to medical information, or any other aspect of this investigation. “The crash investigation is ongoing and charges are pending.”
As for what, exactly, those pending charges may be—we can only hope Tiger is sitting down for this…
High-profile Florida criminal attorney Jose Baez told E! News that Woods’ seeming refusal to speak with Florida Highway Patrol troopers could result in several misdemeanor charges, including obstruction of justice, resisting arrest without violence, criminal mischief and possibly even driving under the influence. While authorities initially said that there was no sign of alcohol or drugs at the scene, with no one talking and the investigation still open, nothing has been officially ruled out.
And for all those concerned, sports-loving citizens thinking that list seems like overkill, well, blame the finer points of Florida law. Per Baez, citizens are not allowed to invoke their right to counsel during a traffic accident investigation, hence the possible obstruction of justice charge.
Tiger Woods a man worth nearly $1 Billion might think he has some “get out of jail free” card, but he is no different than any other citizen who has to deal with the bullshit like anyone else.
