Disturbing new details have just come to light about the February 23 car crash of the golfing legend Tiger Woods.

A newly-released police report obtained by TMZ states that an unlabeled pill bottle was found near Woods’ SUV after the crash, and that the professional golfer was “somewhat combative” when first responders tried to treat him at the scene of the crash in California.

The report, which is 22 pages, says that Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputies found an “empty plastic pharmaceutical container” in the front pocket of a backpack that was found in a bush close to Woods’ car.

“The container had no label and there was no indication as to what, if anything, had been inside,” the report adds.

Surveillance footage from the five-star Terranea Resort that was taken just before the crash showed Woods wearing a backpack and pulling a suitcase near the front desk. Police found no alcohol, drugs or paraphernalia in the car that Woods crashed early that morning in Rolling Hills Estates outside of Los Angeles. Police also did not smell any alcohol, and Woods’ eyes were not bloodshot or watery.

When EMTs tried to get Woods out of the wreckage, he became “somewhat combative” with them, according to the report. He was also so disoriented that he thought he was in Florida, where he lives, rather than in California.

When first responders arrived at the scene, Woods was sitting in the front seat wearing his seatbelt and had blood on his face and chin. While he was in shock, the report said that he was “responsive” and able to communicate with the first responders.

Los Angeles Fire Captain Matt Levesque told investigators that Woods’ blood pressure was so low because of the shock over the crash that EMTs could not give him any pain medications until he was in the ambulance.

“Captain Levesque told me that [Woods] was somewhat combative when they were trying to treat him on scene,” the detective wrote in the report. “Levesque stated everything that he observed related to [Woods’] vital signs and combativeness was consistent with the type of traumatic injury” that Woods suffered.

This comes after it was revealed that Woods driving between 84 and 87 mph when he first made impact, and was at 75 mph when his car hit the tree. Woods was driving this fast despite the fact that the speed limit in the area was 45 mph, more than half the speed he was at when he was going his fastest.

Fox News reported that Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva attempted to vigorously deny that Woods was given preferential treatment of any kind in this case.

“I know there’s some saying somehow he received special or preferential treatment of some kind, that is absolutely false,” Villanueva said. “There was no signs of impairment. Our primary concern at the scene of the collision was his safety. This is where you have to switch gears and make sure the person can survive and receives medical care.”
