Following his release from Palm Beach County Jail several hours after being arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, Woods released a statement to CBS News addressing the incident and explaining the circumstances surrounding his arrest.
"I understand the severity
of what I did and take full responsibility for my actions," Woods said.

the mix of medications had affected me so strongly."

"I would like to apologize
with all my heart to my family, friends and the fans. I expect more from
myself, too," he said. "I will do everything in my power to ensure this
never happens again."
Woods added, "I fully cooperated with law enforcement, and I would like
to personally thank the representatives of the Jupiter Police Department
and the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office for their professionalism."A spokeswoman for Jupiter Police in Florida tsaid an officer pulled him over around 3 a.m. on Military Trail in Jupiter. Woods was taken to the Palm Beach County Jail and booked at 7 a.m., according to court documents obtained by ET. He was released without bond just before 11 a.m.
