Tiger Woods, 50, has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charges associated with his rollover car crash on Friday, according to CNN. The pro-golf star’s DUI charge includes property damage, and he’s also on the hook for allegedly refusing a urine test at the scene—a breathalyzer was unable to detect any alcohol. Woods’s Land Rover hit a pickup truck that was towing a trailer, causing the rollover crash in Florida. Woods’s attorney, Douglas Duncan, who defended the star during his 2017 DUI case, demanded a jury trial on Woods’s behalf on Tuesday. Authorities said the pro-golfer had “bloodshot and glassy eyes” at the scene of the crash, and was allegedly carrying two prescription pain pills in his pocket. A deputy on scene recorded that Woods’s “normal faculties were impaired, and he was unable to safely operate the motor vehicle” on Friday. He was released on bail after several hours that afternoon.
