Tiger Woods was found asleep at the wheel of his vehicle before police arrested him on a DUI charge on Monday morning in Jupiter, Fla., according to the police report released Tuesday.
Police found Woods, 41, buckled in and "asleep at the wheel" of his auto on the roadway in the right lane on Military Trail in Jupiter at 2:03 a.m. EDT (an hour earlier than police said on Monday), according to the affidavit.
Woods was arrested about 3 a.m. Monday, Jupiter police spokeswoman Kristin Rightler said.
The report notes that Woods was "cooperative", but described him as "sluggish, sleepy, unable to walk alone". "I don't know what's going to happen", said Nicklaus. The police report confirms Woods' blood-alcohol level was.000 in both tests taken.
Woods said on Monday an unexpected reaction to legal drugs led to his DUI arrest and that "alcohol was not involved".
He explained that his unconsciousness behind the wheel was not due to alcohol intake but the aftereffects of prescribed medication. "I didn't realize the mix of medications had affected me so strongly", the 41-year-old added. Woods was able to recite the alphabet backward - though cops had to explain the instructions a few times: Woods initially believed he was supposed to "recite the entire national anthem backwards".
The golfer is now recovering from back surgery and is expected to be out at least five more months.

That said, Theresa May is consulting with senior party colleagues about forming a minority government , media reports said Friday. May experienced a gradual slide during the campaign period, in which a wide gap between the Conservatives and Labour narrowed.
In his statement, Woods also apologized and said, "I expect more from myself too".
The American subsequently had spinal fusion surgery on April 20, a fourth operation in three years on his troublesome back, which has limited him to three tournament starts worldwide in two years. A local police chief told the Associated Press that an officer found Woods lying on the ground at the accident scene with his then-wife, Elin Nordegren hovering over him.
Woods is scheduled to make his first court appearance July 5.
Rist added, "I think he's a good person, and clearly he's a good father, and he's going through a hard time, and I think people should offer support instead of applauding his downfall".
"I feel bad for Tiger; (he) is a friend". Woods told police that he "takes several prescriptions". "I think he's a good person, and it's kind of sad".
"But I want to say unequivocally, I want to play professional golf again".
