TIGER WOODS ARRESTED AGAIN: FOOLS, CRASHES & $100M COCAINE IN BANANAS
April 1st — no jokes, just a legendary golfer in handcuffs, a lottery winner turned burglar, and a Brexit-sized drug bust hiding in fruit.
It's April Fool's Day, and Garret Fisher is not laughing. Tiger Woods, 50, is waking up this Wednesday with a DUI charge after rolling his Land Rover on a Jupiter Island road Friday — his second DUI arrest, his fourth high-profile crash, his latest chapter in a long-running story about a man who can't stay out of his own way. Russell Brand's UK rape trial, now spanning six accusers, gets pushed from June to October. A Kentucky man who won a $167 million Powerball jackpot allegedly breaks into a home to steal $12,000 cash — his third arrest in under a year. And three men are charged after nearly $100 million worth of cocaine turns up hidden inside a banana shipment at Southampton Docks.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.599
Caalaroga Shark Media. Good morning. I'm Garrett Fisher. Wednesday, April first,
2
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.879
twenty twenty six, April Fool's Day. No jokes today. I
3
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.920
considered it, I really did, but the news had a
4
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.239
better idea. Sometimes the world just writes the cold open
5
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:26.960
for you, and today the world showed up with a mugshot.
6
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.640
Tiger Woods was arrested Friday afternoon on Jupiter Island, Florida,
7
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.679
on charges of driving under the influence, property damage, and
8
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.799
refusal to submit to a lawful chemical test. The fifteen
9
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.039
time Major champion, fifty years old, rolled his land Rover
10
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.520
onto its driver's side after clipping the rear of a
11
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.719
pressure cleaner truck on a two lane residential road not
12
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.560
far from where he lives. He crawled out through the
13
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.799
passenger window. Nobody was seriously hurt. Then the police arrived,
14
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.799
and Tiger Woods's problems got a lot more complicated. Martin
15
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.320
Cay Sheriff John Budenseik held a press conference that afternoon.
16
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.159
His words were measured, careful and damning in the way
17
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.120
that only understatement can be. Woods, he said, was traveling
18
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.840
at a high rate of speed when his vehicle overtook
19
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.680
the truck and clipped the back end of its trailer.
20
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.519
The truck driver had seen the range rover coming fast
21
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:20.719
in his mirror and tried to edge off the road.
22
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.760
There was no shoulder. There was nowhere to go. The
23
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.920
land rover swerved, caught the trailer, and went over on
24
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.519
its side. Sheriff Budenzeke added quietly that had there been
25
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.359
a vehicle moving in the opposite direction at that moment,
26
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.519
we would not be talking about a story with no injuries.
27
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.959
We'd be talking about something much worse. When officers reached
28
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:48.120
Woods at the scene, they immediately suspected impairment. He agreed
29
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.879
to a breathalyzer. It came back triple zeros, no alcohol whatsoever,
30
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.480
but he refused to take a urine test. Investigators believe
31
00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.879
he was under the influence of some kind of medication.
32
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.760
Woods himself told officers he had injuries from prior accidents
33
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:07.560
and surgeries and he had taken medication for them. No
34
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.319
drugs or medication were found in the vehicle, and because
35
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:14.759
he refused the uranalysis, as the sheriff put it directly,
36
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.039
we will never get definitive results as to what he
37
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.080
was actually impaired on at the time. Of the crash.
38
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.159
Woods was booked at the Martin County Jail at around
39
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.759
three in the afternoon. He was held for the mandatory
40
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.039
eight hours under Florida law for dui arrests. Shortly before midnight,
41
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.479
he was released, photographed grimacing in the passenger seat of
42
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.080
a black suv easing through a swarm of paparazzi into
43
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.960
the Florida dark. This is his second dui arrest. The
44
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.719
first was in twenty seventeen, also in Florida, also with
45
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.039
no alcohol involved, also with prescription medication at the center
46
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.199
of the story. He was found to sleep behind the wheel,
47
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:59.639
then engine running, car damage visible barely coherent on dashcam footage.
48
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.879
He later said it was a bad combination of painkillers.
49
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.319
After back surgery, he checked into a clinic. He pleaded
50
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.800
guilty to reckless driving. He came back. This is also
51
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.199
depending on how you count his third serious traffic incident.
52
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.479
The worst was February twenty twenty one, when his suv
53
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.319
ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles at high speed.
54
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.560
He suffered multiple fractures in both legs, ankle injuries requiring
55
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.000
rods and pins, and foot injuries that took years to address.
56
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.120
He said later that doctors had discussed amputation. He came
57
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.599
back from that too. He came back from all of it.
58
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.759
The two thousand and eight US Open on a broken leg,
59
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.039
the two thousand and nine scandal and the divorce and
60
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.439
the public apology, the knee surgeries, the back surgeries, the
61
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.120
Achilles rupture. In twenty twenty five, he just played Tuesday
62
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.800
night in the TGL League Finals at a venue in
63
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.439
Palm Beach Gardens. His team lost, but by all accounts
64
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:01.159
his ball speed was impressive. People were talking about the Masters,
65
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.800
it starts April ninth. There was a soft deadline approaching
66
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.800
for him to decide whether to compete. He was also
67
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.479
days away from having to give an answer on whether
68
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.520
he'd serve as US Ryder Cup captain for the twenty
69
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.879
twenty seven matches in Ireland. Three days after playing golf
70
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.319
on Tuesday night, he was in a Florida jail. Kevin Kisner,
71
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.279
his TGL teammate, was doing color commentary at the Houston
72
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.160
Open on Saturday. When someone asked him about it. He
73
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.959
called it very disturbing. He said Woods had been working
74
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.720
hard trying to get back into shape, signed up for
75
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.079
the US senior open. He was trying to do anything
76
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.240
he could to play again. That's the picture Kisner painted,
77
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.480
a man fighting, and then Friday happened. A source described
78
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.519
as being close to Woods told People magazine that his
79
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.240
inner circle is worried. The quote that stuck with me.
80
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.160
Tiger has yet to look in the mirror and say
81
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.439
you're fifty years old and need to act like it.
82
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.720
The source went on to say he's frustrated and depressed
83
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.600
about his state of health, that he's enabled by people
84
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.360
making money off his talent and reputation, and that once
85
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.680
he gets real people do still like Tiger. He is
86
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:17.240
a good person. That quote is doing a lot of work. Frustrated, depressed, enabled.
87
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.839
Those are not the words of someone who thinks their
88
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.639
friend is fine. As of Monday, no court date had
89
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.079
been set. Florida defense attorneys have noted that without the
90
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.000
year analysis, it may be difficult to prove Woods was
91
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.519
actually impaired by a controlled substance, which is what the
92
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.600
Dui statute requires. That could leave the refusal to submit
93
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.079
charge a second degree misdemeanor that carries up to sixty
94
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.839
days in jail. Whether that charge survives a trial is
95
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.360
a different question. Tiger Woods has had lawyers before. He
96
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:51.480
will figure something out legally. That's probably not the point.
97
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.720
The point is this. The man was playing golf three
98
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.600
days before this happened. He was trying. His body has
99
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.399
been dis mantled and rebuilt so many times that it's
100
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.680
hard to keep count of the surgeries. And somewhere in
101
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.600
all of that physical suffering, in all of that pain
102
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.920
management and rehab and desperate clawing back toward a game
103
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.959
he loves, something is going wrong. Something has been going
104
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.759
wrong for a long time. The question his fans are
105
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.199
asking is Tiger Okay deserves a more honest answer than
106
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:40.759
anyone in his orbit seems willing to give. Russell Brand.
107
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.800
The name has been in the news cycle for going
108
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.480
on three years now, and it moved again this week,
109
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:52.000
not forward toward resolution, but sideways into delay. A London
110
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.399
judge confirmed Monday that Brand's rape and sexual assault trial
111
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.120
in the United Kingdom has been rescheduled from June to October.
112
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.439
Had been set for the summer, it is now set
113
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.680
for autumn. If you are one of the six women
114
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.680
whose allegations formed the basis of these charges, you have
115
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.519
been waiting since at least September twenty twenty three, when
116
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.279
this story first broke publicly, and now you are being
117
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.040
told to wait a little longer. Let me walk you
118
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.800
through where this case stands, because it has grown significantly
119
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.759
since the original charges. The Crown Prosecution Service charge Brand
120
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.959
in April of last year with five counts, one count
121
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.920
of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of
122
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.879
oral rape, and two counts of sexual assault. Those charges
123
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.399
stemmed from allegations made by four anonymous women. The alleged
124
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.680
incidents took place between nineteen ninety nine and two thousand
125
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.079
and five, when Brand was in his mid to late
126
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.240
twenties building his career as a stand up comedian before
127
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:52.399
his television breakthrough. He appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court in
128
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:56.040
May and pleaded not guilty to all five charges. Then
129
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.839
in December, the Crown Prosecution Service filed two additional charges,
130
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.639
another rape and another sexual assault, linked to allegations from
131
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.439
two more women. Brand pleaded not guilty to those as well,
132
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:12.519
six accusers in total, now seven charges. The Metropolitan Police
133
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.079
began investigating in September twenty twenty three after a joint
134
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.319
investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel four's
135
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.600
Dispatches program, in which five women described their alleged experiences
136
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.879
with Brand. That reporting triggered the police inquiry that ultimately
137
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.879
led to the CPS charges. Brand has denied everything consistently
138
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:36.720
and publicly. Last May, when the original charges were filed,
139
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:40.399
he posted a video to x, his preferred platform where
140
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.000
he has built a significant following in recent years among
141
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:47.600
people who described themselves as skeptical of mainstream narratives. In
142
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.440
that video, he said, and I want to be precise here.
143
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.720
He told his audience he had been quote a drug addict,
144
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.720
a sex addict, and an imbecile, but that what he
145
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.039
never was was a rapist. He has leaned heavily on
146
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.480
his conversion to Christianity and his public discussion of past
147
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:08.399
addiction and recklessness as a kind of character testimony, the
148
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.360
implication being that the person he was then is not
149
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.879
the person he is now. His defense will have months
150
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.919
to prepare for October, his accusers will have months to wait.
151
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.440
That asymmetry is worth sitting with for a moment. No
152
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.399
reason has been publicly given for the trial delay, at
153
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.799
least none that the reporting make clear. These things happen
154
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:35.159
in complex, multi charge cases with multiple complainants scheduling, legal preparation,
155
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.440
court availability. It doesn't tell us anything about the merits
156
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.519
of the case, but October is a long time from now,
157
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.000
and if you're counting, it means the women who first
158
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.919
came forward in twenty twenty three will have been living
159
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.840
inside this legal process for the better part of three
160
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.519
years before a jury gets to weigh in. Brand meanwhile
161
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.600
continues to produce content. He has a large and loyal audience.
162
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.519
He remains a public figure with a platform. We'll be
163
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.360
following this trial closely. When it finally begins October, we'll
164
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:14.360
get here. I want to tell you about James Farthing.
165
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.120
I want to tell you this story slowly because it
166
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.519
takes a moment to fully appreciate the scope of what
167
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.159
has happened in the roughly eleven months since this man
168
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:27.120
won the lottery. James Farthing, fifty one years old, of Georgetown, Kentucky,
169
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:31.399
purchased a powerball ticket last April. He won not a
170
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.440
small amount, not a lucky scratch off amount. He won
171
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.000
a one hundred and sixty seven million dollar jackpot one
172
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.320
hundred and sixty seven million dollars. This past Saturday, March
173
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:47.200
twenty eighth, police in Lexington, Kentucky, arrested him on charges
174
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:51.440
of burglary and drug related offenses. According to an arrest
175
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:56.120
citation reviewed by local outlets, Farthing allegedly entered a residence
176
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.919
without authorization and stole twelve thousand dollars in cash. A
177
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.840
resident said she saw him on her security camera before
178
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.240
she heard a loud noise that sounded like her door
179
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.720
being busted open. Then she noticed twelve thousand dollars was missing.
180
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.360
Twelve thousand dollars. The man has one hundred and sixty
181
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:19.240
seven million dollars or he had it. We'll come back
182
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.759
to that. This was not a lapse in judgment. This
183
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.960
was not a bad night. This was Farthing's third arrest
184
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.279
in less than a year since winning the lottery. In November,
185
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.639
he was charged with wanton endangerment and leaving the scene
186
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.360
of an accident following an alleged hit and run collision
187
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:40.080
in Fayette County. Wanton endangerment, for those unfamiliar, is a
188
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:44.399
serious charge. It means your actions put someone at unreasonable
189
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.600
risk of death or serious physical injury. He allegedly hit
190
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.879
someone and drove away. In February, he was charged in
191
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:55.200
Scott County with intimidating a participant in a legal process.
192
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:59.000
That's witness tampering territory. That's someone who knows they're in
193
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.919
legal trouble and trying to manage the people around them.
194
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:06.240
And then, weeks before this latest arrest, Farthing pleaded guilty
195
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:10.399
to assault of a Florida police officer. Bodycam footage which
196
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:14.320
local TV has obtained, reportedly shows him kicking the officer
197
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.679
in the face at a bar. This happened back in
198
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.639
April of last year, right around the time he won
199
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.360
the jackpot, actually, and he just resolved it with a
200
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:27.799
guilty plea. He is now awaiting arraignments in two separate cases.
201
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.559
In April, he was set to appear Monday afternoon on
202
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.320
the burglary charges. A ten thousand dollars bond was posted Sunday,
203
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:41.879
ten thousand dollars bond for a man with one hundred
204
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.120
and sixty seven million. Now, I'm not going to stand
205
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.080
here and pretend that winning the lottery automatically makes someone's
206
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:54.159
underlying problems disappear. It doesn't. People who were struggling before
207
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.360
sudden wealth often struggle after it, sometimes more acutely, because
208
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.600
the money removes consequences without removing causes. If you were
209
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.639
self destructive before, you're still self destructive. You just have
210
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:11.039
more resources and more exposure and more people watching. The
211
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.200
research on lottery winners and outcomes is not cheerful. But Burglary,
212
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.039
a man with one hundred and sixty seven million dollars
213
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.120
allegedly busted open someone's door to steal twelve thousand in cash.
214
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.200
That's not a money problem. That's something else entirely. And
215
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.399
whatever that something else is, eleven months of consequences have
216
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:32.679
not touched it. We'll see what April's court dates bring.
217
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:48.759
And finally, and I say finally with some relish, let's
218
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.799
go to Southampton, England, where the United Kingdom's National Crime
219
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.320
Agency announced this past Saturday that it had charged three
220
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.960
men with importing Class A drugs following the discovery of
221
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.879
nine hundred and forty three kilograms of cocaine hidden inside
222
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:07.080
a shipment of bananas. Nine hundred and forty three kilograms
223
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.720
at a street value of seventy five million British pounds
224
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:14.360
just under one hundred million US dollars. The drugs were
225
00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.279
found inside a shipping container at Southampton Docks that had
226
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:21.240
sailed from Nicaragua by way of Panama. Border Force officers
227
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.759
working in partnership with the NCAA opened the container on
228
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.919
March eighteenth and found the cocaine inside banana packaging. The
229
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.360
operation led to charges against three men, Daniel Dumitru thirty
230
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.360
seven years old from the West Midlands, Andrew Smith forty six,
231
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:43.080
from Merseyside, and Joshua Berry twenty eight from Hampshire. Dumitru
232
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:47.120
and Smyth appeared at Southampton Magistrates Court on March nineteenth,
233
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.759
the day after the seizure. Barry appeared in court on Saturday.
234
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.840
All three have been remanded in custody and are expected
235
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:58.240
before Southampton Crown Court on April seventeenth. Barry faces an
236
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.000
additional charge of producing Class B drug. That detail suggests
237
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.240
he may have had a broader role in the operation
238
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:10.960
than simple importing. The NCAA's branch commander, Saju Sassakumar said
239
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.480
in a statement that this was a massive amount of
240
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.960
cocaine destined for the streets of the UK and that
241
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.879
seizing these drugs deprives the crime group behind it of
242
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.600
huge profits that cannot be plowed back into further offending.
