Police: Tiger Woods Arrested in Florida for DUI

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Police say golf great Tiger Woods has been arrested on a DUI charge in Florida.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says on its website that Woods was booked into a county jail around 7 a.m. Monday.

Jail records show Woods had been arrested by police in Jupiter. He was released just before 11 a.m. on his own recognizance. He has been charged under a Driving Under the Influence statute.

No other details were immediately available. Messages left for a Jupiter police spokeswoman were not immediately returned.

In 2009, Tiger hit a tree while allegedly driving under the influence of Ambien after a fight with his then wife Elin Nordegren. He did not face DUI charges at the time.
