Police did not give Tiger Woods a breath test to determine if alcohol was a factor in his single-car accident early Friday morning, according to The Orlando Sentinel. Officers responding to the scene had no reason to suspect Woods was under the influence of alcohol, Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. Kim Montes told the Sentinel.

Woods was not given a breath test, nor was his blood or urine tested. Troopers need probable cause that someone is under the influence of alcohol or drugs to demand such tests, and they had none, Montes said. Such probable cause could include finding liquor bottles in a car or smelling alcohol on someone's breath.

Kissimmee (Fla.) defense lawyer Don Waggoner said Saturday that troopers must arrest someone before they test for alcohol or drug intoxication. They cannot draw blood unless they can't get a breath or urine sample, and they can't take those unless they suspect intoxication, he said.

"If there's no reason for them to believe he's under the influence of alcohol, then they have no probable cause," Waggoner said. "People have accidents all the time, and they aren't under the influence of alcohol."

In a written statement, Montes described how state troopers were turned away for the third straight day when attempting to interview Woods about the accident Sunday afternoon.

"The troopers went to the house to see if they could speak with Mr. Woods," Montes said. "Mr. Woods' attorney was present and told investigators that Mr. Woods was unavailable for an interview. Mr. Woods' attorney provided the troopers with Mr. Woods' driver’s license information, registration and current proof of insurance as required by Florida Law. The crash investigation is ongoing and charges are pending."
