Tiger Woods to change plea after crash arrest
Tiger Woods to change plea after crash arrest. Court records show the change of plea hearing is set for Wednesday morning in Martin County, Florida. The golfer was arrested after the March crash, and had passed a breathalyser test but declined further testing for other drugs. He pleaded not guilty the same month to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and refusal to submit to testing. The golfer will be in court on Wednesday for a hearing to change his plea after being charged with driving under the influence.
Why it matters. This legal development marks a significant procedural update in a high-profile celebrity arrest case involving public safety and substance testing laws.
