Maj. Cindy Williams said Tuesday that will close the investigation and no criminal charges are being pursued. Woods faces a $164 fine.

Woods turned down requests to talk with Florida troopers three days in a row following the accident, in which he drove his Cadillac Escalade SUV over a fire hydrant and into a neighbor’s tree. The airbags did not deploy in the crash, and Woods’ wife, Elin, told police she used a golf club to smash the back windows to help him get out of the vehicle.

Florida Law states that Woods isn’t obligated to talk with police because the accident was minor. All Woods had to do was provide his driver’s license, proof of insurance and registration of the car to police, which his attorney did Sunday.

In other news Tuesday, an attorney for the neighbors who dialed 911 after Woods’ crash said Woods’ wife asked them to call 911 and they saw no indication the golfer was beaten or driving under the influence. Speaking to reporters in his Orlando law office, attorney Bill Sharpe said Linda Adams and her adult sons Jarius and Jerome Adams went outside their home after hearing the crash. Sharpe said the Adamses said Woods’ wife was not holding a golf club.
