TMZ was told that authorities believe they can show probable cause a crime was committed, a necessary step in obtaining a warrant.
One big piece of evidence showing probable cause … sources tell TMZ Tiger’s wife, Elin Woods told Florida Highway Patrol troopers she went looking for Tiger in a golf cart, came upon the accident and then used a golf club to break the window to gain entry. Apparently Elin tells a very different story to the Windemere cops shortly after the accident — she never mentioned a golf cart. Nordegren told Windemere police she had walked out of her house, saw the crash, went back inside to get a golf club and returned to the vehicle.
And what’s more although alcohol was not involved, Tiger was in and out of consciousness and TMZ has reported Tiger told a friend he was taking prescription meds for pain, which could be evidence of DUI. This, too, could constitute probable cause to obtain a warrant.
Florida Highway Patrol is trying to obtain a search warrant after getting shut down again Sunday in an attempt to interview Tiger and Elin and to eyeball Tiger’s wounds.
It all happened at 2:25 am. So it’s not hard to assume that they were having a fight otherwise where was he off to at 2:30 in the morning?
Thoughts?
