According to Tiger Woods himself, the officers he dealt with on the night of his arrest showed nothing but stellar conduct. In fact, he even gave them a shout-out in his statement. “I would like to personally thank the representatives of the Jupiter Police Department and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office for their professionalism,” he wrote (via Golf Digest).
Sure enough, videos of Woods’ arrest and time in custody were made public soon after his release, and it seems as though his experience was handled pretty gracefully. In the dash cam footage of his arrest published by Golf.com, one of the responding officers calmly walks Woods through the field sobriety test, even as the golfer stumbles through the motions. In another video of the arrest published by The Guardian, the officers are seen walking Woods over to the police car, once again being cordial.
As for his experience inside the jail itself, Woods was once again met with pleasant officials. In fact, he even managed to get a chuckle out of one. As seen in video footage shared by WPLG Local 10, in response to being asked his hair color, he mumbled, “Mostly brown and fading.” Later on, he earned another chuckle from the same officer when it took him a few seconds to get the breathalyzer right. And, throughout the experience, it seems as though the police officers were taking his comfort seriously, helping him into the chair to prevent his handcuffs from pushing into his back.
