Wake-up call for Tiger in DUI

- Megan Cerullo

TIGER WOODS pleaded guilty to reckless driving Friday after he was arrested for driving under the influence in May.

The golf great will enter a program for first-time DUI offenders that requires him to spend a year on probation and pay a $250 fine plus court costs. He’s also required to attend DUI school, complete 50 hours of community service and attend a workshop at which victims describe how impaired drivers damaged their lives.

Woods was arrested around 2 a.m. on May 29, when officers found him unconsciou­s in the back of his Mercedes-Benz, about 15 miles from his home in Jupiter, Fla. The court said Woods had already completed the community service requiremen­t, DUI school and the recommende­d treatment. He also must submit to regular drug tests as part of the plea agreement, since he was intoxicate­d with prescripti­on drugs and marijuana when he was arrested.

If he meets all of the requiremen­ts outlined by the judge, the DUI charge will be expunged from his record.
