Tiger Woods plans to change his not guilty plea in a DUI case stemming from a rollover crash in Florida, according to court documents filed Tuesday.In March, Woods' Land Rover clipped a truck, rolled onto its side and the legendary golfer was arrested, officials said. Woods pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence in the case in Martin County circuit court, just north of Palm Beach County. He is expected in court Wednesday morning for a plea conference hearing, according to a notice of the hearing posted Tuesday. No additional details about the nature of the plea change were released.Woods' attorney, Doug Duncan, and the State Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to emails from The Associated Press requesting additional information.Woods was traveling at high speeds on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island with a 30 mph speed limit when his Land Rover caused $5,000 in damage to the truck, according to an arrest report. He managed to crawl out of the vehicle without any injuries and told a deputy he was looking down at his phone and changing the radio station when he hit the truck. Deputies at the scene said Woods appeared impaired while answering questions and performing a series of sobriety tests. Woods took a Breathalyzer test that registered zero alcohol, but he refused to submit to a urine test, authorities said.Woods told police he had taken "a few" prescription medications, according to the arrest report. Two pills, later identified as hydrocodone, were found in his pants pocket.
