Video of Tiger Woods inside jail after arrest
The Jupiter Police released video of golf star Tiger Woods after he was brought to the Blood Alcohol Testing Center at the Palm Beach County Jail on Monday, following his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
"I asked Woods if he had taken any medication to which he stated 'Xanax'," police officer Christopher Fandry wrote in the report.
Xanax, the generic version of which is called alprazolam, is often prescribed to treat anxiety and depression and is also commonly used as sleep medication because of its sedatory effect.
The 41-year-old tested negative for alcohol after his arrest and later released a statement saying he had experienced an unexpected reaction to prescription medicines.
Woods is the winner of 14 major championships, second only to Jack Nicklaus, but has hardly played in the last 22 months, during which time he has had multiple back surgeries.
