Tiger Woods had hydrocodone pills in his pocket and his eyes were bloodshot and glassy when he was interviewed at the site of his car crash, according to a sheriff’s office report released Tuesday.

Woods’ movements were slow and lethargic, and he was sweating as he talked to deputies, according to an incident report released from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies found two white pills, which were identified as the opioid hydrocodone used to treat pain, in his pocket, the report said.
