JUPITER, Fla. – Tiger Woods was found asleep behind the wheel of a running car that was stopped in the road with its brake lights on and its right blinker flashing, according to his DUI arrest report, which was released a day after Woods spent several hours in jail on the charge.
The 2015 four-door black Mercedes that Woods was driving had visible damage, according to the arrest report, including both driver's side tires being flat with minor damage to their rims, minor damage to the front driver's side bumper and rear bumper, and the rear passenger side tail light being out.

Woods was wearing his seat belt and had to be woken up by Jupiter police when they found him about 2 a.m. Monday, the report said.
Woods was arrested on suspicion of DUI at about 3 a.m. Monday and was taken to the Palm Beach County jail.

Jupiter police also released the ticket that Woods was issued for driving under the influence, which was written at 5:50 a.m. He was also cited for improper parking because he was stopped in the road.
Jail records show that the 41-year-old was booked into jail at 7:18 a.m. and released on his own recognizance at 10:50 a.m.
He is due in court on July 5.
The jail released a booking photo of Woods wearing a white T-shirt.
Contrary to reports from sources, including the New York Post and TMZ, that Woods refused to take a breath test, Woods submitted to breath tests at 4:28 a.m. and 4:31 a.m. and blew zero both times, according to the arrest report.
Woods, a 14-time major golf champion who had back surgery five weeks ago, attributed the arrest to an "unexpected reaction" to prescription medicine.
"I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions," Woods said in a statement Monday evening. "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."

Woods apologized to his family, friends and fans and said, "I expect more from myself, too.
"I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again."
Police said Woods was arrested on Military Trail, south of Indian Creek Parkway. Woods did not say in his statement where he had been or what he was doing at that hour.
News4Jax crime and safety analyst Gil Smith said Woods' arrest was likely a meticulous one for Jupiter police because of Woods' celebrity status.
“The police officers took awhile to put this together, because when you arrest someone as famous as Tiger Woods, it makes police officers nervous, because they know it's going to be in media all over the world,” Smith said.
According to the arrest report, Woods had extremely slow and slurred speech and told officers that he was coming from Los Angeles, where he had been playing golf, and that he didn’t know where he was and that "he just likes to drive."
An officer asked Woods if he wanted to tie his shoes and Woods said he could not get down that far, the report said.

Woods changed his story several times during the conversation with police and told officers that he takes several prescriptions, including Vicodin and several anti-inflammatory medications, the report said. One of those he listed, Vioxx, was pulled from the market 13 years ago because it's linked to cardiovascular issues. Woods said he hadn't taken it in the last year.
Police described Woods as mumbling and confused, but cooperative during the traffic stop.
When police gave Woods some field sobriety tests, he “did not follow stimulus and was not able to conduct a horizontal gaze nystagmus," the report said.
He could not maintain a starting position in a “walk and turn” test. He missed heel to toe each time and stepped off the line several times, using his arms for balance, according to police. He did not walk back to the officer during the test, and after the instructions were again explained to him, he continued to struggle to complete the test.
“They ask you to turn and pivot on the line. Now, I'm sober, but still when I did that turn, I fell of the line a little bit, so it's not always an indication that someone is under the influence because someone doesn't pass these exercises. That's why they have them do several different exercises,” Smith explained. “Sometimes they drop their legs when they first start to steady themselves and once they get their balance, they put their arms out and do whatever it takes to steady. Even if they wobble, that's just fine. If they continue to put their leg down, that's a sign that they may be under the influence of something."
According to the arrest report, Woods failed to complete the one-leg stand, struggled with the “finger to nose” test and when asked if he understood the instructions to recite the alphabet, he said, “Yes, recite the entire national anthem backwards.” After police explained the instructions several times, he completed the task correctly.
“He should never have been driving that car,” Smith said. “He could have been deadly if he came across anyone, hit a pedestrian or hit another driver.”
Previous problems
It was the first time Woods has run into trouble off the golf course since he plowed his SUV into a tree and a fire hydrant outside his Windermere, Florida, home in the early morning after Thanksgiving 2009, which led to revelations that he had multiple extramarital affairs.
A police report then showed that a Florida trooper who suspected that Woods was driving under the influence sought a subpoena for the golfer's blood test results from the hospital, but prosecutors rejected the petition for insufficient information.
A witness, who wasn't identified in the report, told the trooper that Woods had been drinking alcohol earlier. The same witness also said Woods had been prescribed two drugs, the sleep aid Ambien and the painkiller Vicodin. The report did not identify the witness but said it was the same person who pulled Woods from the vehicle after the accident. Woods' wife has told police that she used a golf club to smash the back windows of the Cadillac Escalade to help her husband out.
He was eventually cited for careless driving and fined $164.
Woods and Elin Nordegren divorced in 2010. He later had a relationship with Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn that lasted two years.
News4Jax obtained Wood's Florida driving record and found that he had no driving infractions between the 2009 incident and Monday's ticket for DUI. Woods' driving record with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lists Woods as a safe driver.
