Tiger Woods to seek treatment, enters not guilty plea after crash

Tiger Woods is stepping away from golf "to seek treatment" following his DUI arrest this past Friday in Jupiter Island, Florida, following a rollover crash. "I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today," Woods said in a statement posted on social media. "I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery. "I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time." Woods’ statement comes after entering a plea of not guilty, waiving his arraignment, and demanding a trial with a jury on Tuesday. When detectives talked with Tiger Woods after his SUV flipped onto its side after a crash in Florida, detectives noted that his eyes were "bloodshot and glassy," his pupils were dilated, and his movements appeared to be slow and lethargic, according to a report from the Martin County Sheriff's Office. Two pills believed to be hydrocodone were found in his pants pocket, the report said. He was talkative and alert, and "sweating profusely," despite being in a vehicle with the A/C on, the report said. Detectives asked Woods if he took any medication(s). "I take a few," he responded in the report, including medications for high blood pressure and cholesterol, and mentioned ibuprofen and Vicodin. He was asked whether he took any illegal drugs. He said no. Officials noted that Woods had a limp and appeared to stumble to the right. Woods told detectives that he has had several surgeries. Woods was asked to perform a series of field sobriety tests. Attorney Matt Tympanick joins LiveNOW's Andy Mac to discuss.
