Tiger Woods flipped his SUV in March after clipping a pickup truck, and that crash led to a DUI arrest.

Police said he failed field sobriety testing, refused a urine test, admitted taking “a few pills,” and officers found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket.

But his breathalyzer was 0.000, nobody was injured, and without the urine test there were obvious proof issues.

Now the DUI has been reduced to reckless driving.

No jail.

$1,500 fine.

And his driver’s license is suspended for FIVE YEARS.

So what do you think?

Is five years without a license a pretty serious consequence given the proof issues?

Or did Tiger Woods get a deal that an average person would never get?

Fair plea deal or celebrity treatment?

PENN STATE CO***NE BUST-
Agostino Abbatiello showed up in court this morning still in custody, the only one of the 14 defendants being held without bail.

His lawyer is asking the judge to change that today.

So while three co-defendants were reportedly taking the stand against him, Abbatiello was walking in asking to go home.

Quite a morning.

UPDATE ON THE SHAKE SHACK INCIDENT AT TOWSON CIRCLE

What started this morning as a report of an unconscious person near Shake Shack has now taken a much more serious turn.

Dispatch is referring to the call as a Priority 4, which in Baltimore County means the person is deceased.

Police have also requested the Crime Lab to respond.

That does not automatically mean foul play. Crime Lab can be called to document and process the scene when a death is unattended, unexplained or investigators need to preserve evidence while they determine exactly what happened.

But this is clearly no longer just a medical call.

A person was found unconscious near Shake Shack this morning, the call became a possible cardiac arrest, and now police are treating the scene as a death investigation with Crime Lab responding.

We’ll update when we know more.

Yes, we offer free consultations.

But a free consultation does not mean free legal work.

A free consultation is a quick conversation. We talk about what is going on, the basic issues, whether we can help, and generally what the game plan may look like.

In a criminal case, we can talk about the charges and the overall approach. It does not include researching case law, reviewing discovery and body camera footage, or doing an in-depth legal analysis.

Same with family and civil cases. If you want us to review custody orders, agreements, contracts or court filings and then tell you exactly what they mean and give you a roadmap of what to do next, that is legal work.

All attorneys really have to sell is our time, experience and knowledge.

If we reviewed everyone’s documents, researched everyone’s issues and gave everyone a complete roadmap for their case during a free consultation, that is literally all we would do all day.

And we would never get paid.

So yes, call us. Ask questions. Tell us what is going on. We are happy to talk.

But free consultation does not mean free legal work.

WELL, THAT DIDN’T TAKE LONG.

This case has only been public for a couple of weeks and it is already going completely sideways.

Defense lawyers are saying most, if not all, of the defendants are cooperating.

Agostino Abbatiello’s lawyer filed an 88-page emergency request for bail, challenged the assigned judge, and now the President Judge has stepped in to oversee the hearings.

Meanwhile prosecutors want all 14 defendants tied together, the investigation is still ongoing, and possible hazing charges are still hanging out there.

So now we have bail fights, judge fights, cooperation, possible plea deals, and a whole lot of people with reasons to start talking.

At this point the real question is:

Who sings first, and who do they sing about?

This thing is getting wild fast.

Everyone charged remains presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

The General Manager has now sent another apology, but he still doesn’t seem to be answering the questions members are actually asking.

The focus is almost entirely on traffic.

But was traffic really the only problem?

Members are asking whether ma*****na was being used at the event and whether the Club now has lingering odor concerns.

They are asking how many people were actually there, what the legal occupancy was, and whether that number was exceeded.

They are asking who made the money from the bottle service, who received the 15% service charge, and whether anyone outside the Club profited from alcohol sales.

And then there is the bigger issue.

If the Club gets cited, fined, suspended, or otherwise sanctioned by the Liquor Board or any other governing agency, who is responsible for that?

The promoter?

DJ Manny?

The member who hosted it?

Or the Club and its membership?

The apology says future events will be capped at 200 people and that parking and traffic will be better managed.

Fine.

But that still doesn’t answer what happened Saturday night.

And right now, it appears the members are asking about a whole lot more than traffic.
