The waiting continues with Woods (Tiger and wife refuse to meet with Police Investigators)
MyWay ^ | 29 Nov 09 | FRED GOODALL

Moments after pulling out of his driveway in the middle of the night, Tiger Woods drove his SUV over a fire hydrant and into a tree, causing injuries that sent him to the hospital to be treated.

The investigation of that mysterious crash has moved much more slowly.

Woods added to the suspense Saturday when for the second straight day, the world's No.1 golfer was unavailable to speak to the Florida Highway Patrol. State troopers are looking for answers about the accident in which the Windermere police chief said Woods' wife, Elin, used a golf club to smash out a rear window and help him get out.

Police first went to his $2.4 million house inside the gates of Isleworth on Friday, only for Woods' wife to ask if they could return the next day because he was sleeping.

As they headed to Woods' house Saturday afternoon, FHP dispatch put through a phone call to troopers from Woods' agent, informing them that Woods and his wife would be unavailable to talk until Sunday.

"I don't know what was said," Sgt. Kim Montes, the patrol spokeswoman, said Saturday. "I mean, (Friday) we understood, and that's kind of normal. It is unusual that we haven't gotten a statement. This just delays us to getting closer to the completion of the investigation."

Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, did not respond to a text message asking why Woods was unavailable.

Sunday could deliver two bits of information - what Woods has to say about the accident or perhaps the 911 tapes that FHP said it would release once authorities have reviewed the call.

The silence has only fueled speculation of what happened, why Woods left the house at that hour, where he was going....

So charge him with everything possible known in traffic law and tell him if you need our help again, we hope she kicks your butt cause we’re busy.

It's not often you see Tiger take a beating but he's taking one here. The longer this drags out the worse it looks. It's turned into a circus. What was a simple "Tiger has a wreck" story is now a media circus as this game of cat and mouse continues. It's gone on way too long.

IMO they should just leave the entire thing alone. Write the accident up, pay to have the damage done repaired, and go on. Now that the light is on Tiger and his wife, they won’t be able to look at each other cross eyed without the MSM reporting the incident. If Tiger wants to put his balls onto another green, he’d be outed in a nano second. The MSM would do better to do a little more research about the current administration and its antics than Tiger Woods peccadillo's.

Exactly. It’s amazing they’re letting them get away with this obfuscation. Jeez. He screwed up, she flipped out. It happens. It’s not rocket science, and nobody died. Fess up now, and she’ll probably have to do some community service. Big frippin’ deal. But keep dodging the cops and you’re looking for some big time trouble.

Near where I live in NJ, a guy from Baltimore came up to visit relatives for Thanksgiving weekend. They live in a nice lake community.

The guy got drunk, went out in kayak, and fell out of it at 5 am. I neighbor heard him screaming, got his own canoe, fished him out, and drove him to the hospital, where they treated him for mild hypothermia, and released him.

The cops have charged him with a crime: "Creating a Hazardous Condition."

Man rescued from Upper Aetna Lake

My thoughts: the guy got drunk, and fell out of a kayak into a lake (he couldn't swim). Why are the cops charging this guy with a crime?

We are a world away from the 1960's where the cops would drive you home or give you a ticket if they could help you out.

If Tiger's wife attacked him with a golf club, that is assault with a deadly weapon. If a guy who falls, drunk, out of a kayak goes to jail, and she skates, it is more evidence that our legal system is for sale.

How many Woods could Elin Woods chuck if a Tiger Woods Woodie chucked Rachael Uchitel in the Woods?

I am commenting siisyjane because I want to. Do you have a problem with that” Truth is, it still isn’t yours or anyone elses business what went on at the Woods house. Anymore than it is my business what goes on at your house.

Apparently the passenger windows were smashed up too. She was going after him.

Could his lips have been bleeding from broken glass flying?

I am amazed that so-called “conservative” freepers would see this matter as anything other than either too much government or an abuse of governmental power. No one has filed a complaint. There is no evidence that anyone is being coerced to refrain from filing a complaint. If the problem is the cost of repairing a fire hydrant, bill Woods for the repair costs and sue him if he refuses to pay. Otherwise, politely tell the Woods family to call if they need anything and go catch some bad guys.

Who are you to decide what we can and can’t be interested in?

Is this Soviet Russia now?

I'm smelling white racist oppression of Woods.

It is only your business if it affects you or your pocketbook, or if someone is killed.

We all know that this is a circus because he is Tiger Woods. If it were Joe Blow that hit a fire hydrant you would not give it the time of day, nor would it be a big thang about what went on in the house.

It would be a local accident report.
