ORLANDO, Fla. — The ambulance crew that responded after golfer Tiger Woods crashed his SUV would not allow his wife to ride with him to the hospital because they thought it was a case of domestic violence, documents released Friday by the Florida Highway Patrol show.

But a police officer who responded said he didn't know where the crew got that information because he never heard it from anyone at the scene.

The reports also show that Woods' wife, Elin, turned over two bottles of pain pills to troopers after the Nov. 27 crash outside the couple's suburban Orlando home.

Tiger Woods crashed his sport utility vehicle into a fire hydrant at 2:30 a.m., and officers found him lying in the street. The SUV had a broken window and the couple told investigators Elin Woods had broken it with a golf club so she could unlock a door and pull him out.

Tiger Woods has strenuously denied his wife ever hit him.

Cpl. Thomas R. Dewitt, one of the highway patrol investigators, also wrote in his report that he asked for videotape from a security camera at the Woods' home. But the golfer's lawyer, Mark NeJame, told him the couple didn't know if the camera worked and couldn't figure out how to remove the tape.

Talk about fishy.....

By bringing the meds that Tiger had taken, Elin showed her concern for his well being. It seemed that Tiger would not have been able to give a coherent accounting of his meds.

One of the first questions the docs ask pertains to any medication you might have taken prior to the ‘event’.

The police cameras have a tendency not to work at “inconvenient” times too.

Tiger at his presser last week sure looked looked like he had had a (very) broken nose.

OK, says Cpl. Sherlock, I’ll drop the investigation.
