Authorities found Tiger Woods asleep at the wheel, with the car running before his DUI arrested in Florida, according to a police report.
The golf icon “had slow, sluggish and very slurred speech” and was “unable to walk alone,” however, he blew a 0.00 in a breath test for alcohol.
Woods, 41, was arrested around 3 a.m. Monday and reportedly struggled to walk in a straight line and couldn’t stand on one leg, the report adds. He did, however, successfully recite the the alphabet backwards.
He initially told cops that he was returning from a golf trip in Los Angeles before admitting that he took several prescription drugs including Vicodin.
Woods has since released a statement claiming the incident was a result of an “unexpected reaction” to prescription drugs.
“I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Woods said. “I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn’t realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly.”
