The sheriff’s office representative responded somberly, saying, “No ma’am, we haven’t gotten any voice response from them.”

Woods was arrested for driving under the influence after appearing to cause a crash in Florida that resulted in his vehicle rolling over, Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Friday.

The sheriff confirmed at a news conference that Woods was traveling at “a high rate of speed” when his vehicle collided with another car, resulting in his vehicle rolling over onto the driver’s side. Budensiek said Woods appeared to have exited the vehicle by “crawling” out of the passenger side.

Authorities said Woods “exemplified signs of impairment.” He blew “triple-zeroes” for alcohol but refused a urine test.
