Overview
- On Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026, Woods entered no-contest/guilty pleas to reduced counts of reckless/careless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test and accepted fines plus a five-year concurrent suspension of his driver’s license.
- The original misdemeanor DUI with property-damage charge was dropped as part of the agreement and the court treated the no-contest plea as a conviction for sentencing purposes.
- The case stems from a March 27 rollover on Jupiter Island in which Woods’ Land Rover clipped a truck’s trailer and flipped, officers noted observable signs of impairment, found two hydrocodone pills on his person, he registered 0.0 on a breath test and he refused a urine test.
- During pretrial discovery prosecutors obtained court approval to review Woods’ hospital treatment records and prescription-fill records under protective orders while Woods sought inpatient treatment overseas.
- Judge Darren Steele warned there would be no exceptions to the driving ban, a condition that creates immediate practical limits on Woods’ travel and vehicle use and would expose him to jail if he violates the suspension.
