Tiger Woods' car crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, has resulted in his second DUI arrest after a rollover crash that led to his fourth vehicle incident since 2009. The new law, named 'Trenton's Law' which went into effect last October, increases penalties for impaired driving cases in Florida. The law requires a suspect to be told that their failure to submit a breath or urine test during a DUI arrest is a first- or second-degree misdemeanor. The deputy who arrested Woods on suspicion of DUI stated that Woods had pain pills in his pocket and showed signs of impairment at the scene of the crash. However, he declined to submit to a urine test, which could have detected the presence of chemical or controlled substances. Under Trenton’s Law, criminal penalties can be assessed for refusal to provide a sample and a minimum of 30 days in jail. Orlando defense attorney David Hill believes prosecutors can build a DUI case against Woods even without lab results, citing that there isn't enough evidence to convict him.
