WINDERMERE, Fla. (AP) - Tiger Woods canceled another meeting with state troopers on Sunday, the third straight time he's done so. He posted a statement on his Web site that said the accident was his fault, but failed to address the lingering questions about the crash that sent him to a hospital.
The statement was posted about an hour before state troopers were to meet with the world's No. 1 golfer at his home inside the gates of Isleworth. A meeting was not rescheduled.

What are YOU smoking?
When the cops got there, he was laying on the ground outside the car - bleeding from mouth and nose and unconscious, His wife was tending him , said she broke window to get him out of the car. - according to the news.
Maybe you're privy to something no one else knows?
If you haven't a clue as what our Constitutional rights are in this country, and you haven't GOTTEN a clue from all the posters here who have spelled it out - then you are, obviously, clueless...and would seem to have an excellent liberal, wealthy-envy mind.
One poster said they were from a "cops family" and said that none of them in the profession would talk to the cops in such situations.
I was also in a "cops family" - and that is the truth. There is a reason for it!
That's how I read it too. I've been in a similar situation (if in fact the tabloid story is untrue) and when the first Mrs. Altair was raging at me the Tokyo police took her away, not me. I never hit her no matter how many times she hit me.
Domestic violence is ugly people and it's far, far worse when it's female on male. We can't speak up for ourselves.
I repeat, blah, blah, blah. Buh bye.
As you all know, I had a single-car accident earlier this week, and sustained some injuries. I have some cuts, bruising and right now I'm pretty sore.
This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me. I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again.
This is a private matter and I want to keep it that way. Although I understand there is curiosity, the many false, unfounded and malicious rumors that are currently circulating about my family and me are irresponsible.
The only person responsible for the accident is me. My wife, Elin, acted courageously when she saw I was hurt and in trouble. She was the first person to help me. Any other assertion is absolutely false.
This incident has been stressful and very difficult for Elin, our family and me. I appreciate all the concern and well wishes that we have received. But, I would also ask for some understanding that my family and I deserve some privacy no matter how intrusive some people can be.
yep
I mean a friend was charged and took away for leaving the scene.
Nah no double standard there.
Woman call the police about her husband and maybe the cops would like ot find out why she called/
Like I said where I used to live up north if a woman made a call to the police then the police took the guy no questions asked
and that is the law there.
From first hand experience.
I mean a friend was charged and took away for leaving the scene.
I guess then, Tiger would have had to have left the scene of the accident... :-) [unless you call being taken away in an ambulance leaving the scene... LOL...]
Woman call the police about her husband and maybe the cops would like ot find out why she called/
Well, that would be great, too... except that a neighbor called... LOL...
It appears you're operating under a lot of mistaken impressions here... :-)
I’m sorry...was Edwards appraoched by the police for his affair? Were Freepers demanding he spill all or be handcuffed and thrown in the slammer just because he wouldn’t give an Oprah-esque interview?
For that matter was Tiger campaigning to be President? Or is he just an athlete. One that hasn’t raper, beaten or murdered anyone that I know of.
I don’t care if Freepers talk about an affair IF there was one. I don’t care if they talk about his wife taking after him with a Golf club IF that happened.
if Tiger fathers a child with another woman and won’t acknowledge the child, yep, go to town.
But I draw the line at the suggestion he should be forced to speak to the police, handcuffed and so forth without any law I’ve seen to justify it. At most he should get a ticket for hitting the hydrant and pay the damages for the neighbors property. Other then that it isn’t your business, the state’s business or mine.
thanks will do after I put the kids to bed
it appears so , thanks for the info
Awesome response, you didn't let me down.
Not in Obama's America. Tiger Woods is the embodiment of the American Dream. He grew up in Cypress, not far from where I lived for several years after college (at the same time, I was also apparently a neighbor to Obama when he was at Oxy). Cypress is small and definitely middle class. He worked hard. He became very, very good at what he worked at. He made lots of money because of that.
He doesn't deserve any of the hate he has gotten here and the comment of yours that I responded to reeked of liberal democrat class envy.
Maybe add sarcasm tags next time?
Good, I sure was worried that I might.
<sarcasm>Whatever are you talking about???? He murdered a fire hydrant!!!!!!!</sarcasm>
It is not a ‘private matter’. It is a public matter.
Tiger Woods damaged public property in a motor vehicle accident resulting in personal injury and property damage all covered under Florida motor vehicle law.
In addition, he has turned away investigators 3 times.
No. She probably just picked up something convenient and something that I would expect the Woods household to have in quantity is golf clubs.
The rest of your comments make utterly no sense. Maybe you should do a little bit of reading first. Tiger admitted the accident. He passed a DUI test (not drinking).
This story does conveniently move the latest travesties that the Obama administration is trying to push to the back.
That’s it! Thank you! Required viewing for everyone ...
That SHOULD get through to some of the naysayers here - doubt it, but that’s their problem.
There are some people who will never let go of their convictions and they are not going to let facts get in the way.
Is he forcing you buy them?
What are you saying? If someone endorses a product they then owe you his life story?
Good glory, from half the posts on this thread, I feel like I'm in DU land, not FR.
And for some of you - no, he was under no constitutional law or statute to make that statement.
For that matter was Tiger campaigning to be President? Or is he just an athlete. One that hasn’t raper, beaten or murdered anyone that I know of.
I don’t care if Freepers talk about an affair IF there was one. I don’t care if they talk about his wife taking after him with a Golf club IF that happened.
if Tiger fathers a child with another woman and won’t acknowledge the child, yep, go to town.

Tiger was “approached” for a one car crash while visibly under the influence of something, reportedly pain medication, and he and his wife allegedly gave conflicting information and a cockamamie story that she broke out two windows to remove him from the rear of the car. It’s not clear that he was given a breathalyzer or blood test but it was determined that alcohol was not a factor. Fame has its rewards right?
David Lettermen was pilloried here for his extra marital activities but apparently that is permissible since Lettermen is disliked. BTW, people demanded that Edwards be investigated for campaign finance fraud, and rightly so.
Rest easy.
Correction:
hits a fire hydrant and hits a tree - all on HOA (PRIVATE) land.
911 call
Police come and find his wife tending him - he is ON THE GROUND, bleeding from nose and mouth and unconscious - according to the reports.
Where do you get he "leaves the scene" -
well, he did - he was taken to the hospital.
What has happened to FR??? It's turning into another DU

Oh no!
Yes, he endorses products of the companies that hire him to endorse their products. If the public buys those products because of him, that’s their choice, too. Again, imo, it’s the public’s fault for thinking he or anyone else is some paragon of virtue, or that other than golf/athleticism his opinion or endorsement matters. JMO

(1)(a) The driver of any vehicle involved in a crash resulting in injury of any person must immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the crash, or as close thereto as possible, and must remain at the scene of the crash until he or she has fulfilled the requirements of s. 316.062. Any person who willfully violates this paragraph is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(4) A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving violation as provided in chapter 318.
In a bank robbery there is a third party with a legitimate criminal complaint: the bank. There is no third party in the Woods scenario.
Your credentials for giving logic lessons are hereby revoked.
So it takes a third party to make it a crime?
If a husband beats his wife half-dead, but she is not inclined to complain for whatever reason, then it’s none of the cops’ business and there is no crime? Is that what you are saying?
You seem to have me mixed up with the person who made the invalid - or as you night say, stupid - argument.
You are an idiot. How many freepers boycott liberal Hollywood trash? How many excoriated Michael Vick? Did Fuzzy Zoeller lose endorsements for a silly remark?
I responded to the poster's statement that Tiger doesn't care what the public thinks. If he doesn't that is a big mistake.
By the way, if you live where your screen name implies, you are in DU land.
By that logic, if a married couple had robbed a bank and they were not inclined to accuse each other, it would be none of the cops’ business.
That is most illogical reasoning on your part.
The comment that you were responding to was exactly correct. The police really have no business getting into domestic disputes if neither party wishes to press any charges.
“The police really have no business getting into domestic disputes if neither party wishes to press any charges.”
So if a man beats his wife half-dead, in the home of course, and she does not want to involve LE, for whatever reason, then it’s none of the cops business? Is that waht you are saying?
Or how about this one? It’s a doozy. A married couple, man and woman, choose to punish their daughter for dishonoring the family. The daughter is burned with acid. Nobody in the family wants to press charges. Is it the cops’ business?
Excellent post, agree on all points!!
I am pretty sure you could not LEGALLY let your five year old drive around the neighborhood.
Staties have more than just the highways. Where I live, this would be the staties jurisdiction.
