Federal, state elected officials honor troops involved in ‘Epic Fury’ fight against Iran

By:&nbsp;<a href="https://kansasreflector.com/author/tim-carpenter/">Tim Carpenter</a> <a href="https://kansasreflector.com/author/tim-carpenter/"></a><a href="https://kansasreflector.com/2025/02/24/gov-laura-kelly-skeptical-kansas-houses-anti-tenure-legislation-will-reach-her-desk/">Kansas Reflector</a>

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The adjutant general of the Kansas National Guard, Gov. Laura Kelly and three members of the state’s congressional delegation Thursday celebrated renovation of an armory serving troops since 1956 during military conflict, peacekeeping operations and natural disasters.

Brig. Gen. Paul Schneider, adjutant general of the Kansas Guard, said airmen and soldiers called upon to perform federal missions, such as the ongoing war with Iran or other deployments throughout the world, had departed from facilities such as the Kansas Readiness Center in Kansas City, Kansas.

“I’d like to ask that you keep the Kansas National Guard soldiers of the 130th Field Artillery Brigade (and) the airmen of the 190th Air Refueling Wing supporting operation ‘Epic Fury’ in the U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility in your thoughts and prayers,” he said.

U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall, U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids, U.S. Rep. Derek Schmidt and Kelly also urged the audience at the rededication ceremony for the armory to keep Kansas Guard troops in mind. The 190th deployed with air refueling tankers in early March, while the 130th has been in the Middle East since last summer.

“I’ll add my voice to all that’s been said,” said Schmidt, the 2nd District Republican. “Thanks, obviously, to those Kansans and others who are serving overseas now. Also, for the families here at home, who have been keeping the home fire burning, and to their employers and friends who are waiting for them to come home, we are grateful.”

The Readiness Center in Kansas City was temporarily closed in 2023 because of water damage. The decision was made to retain the building through a remodeling project that relied on $4.9 million in federal funding and $1.9 million in state aid.

“Our armories were designed for a simple but powerful idea,” Schneider said. “The National Guard should be rooted into communities. This building was built to be more than a place to store equipment and to drill on weekends. It was built to be a community armory, a civil support hub — a place where soldiers train, where neighbors gather.”

The event highlighted the STARBASE program delivering hands-on instruction to Kansas fifth graders in science, technology, engineering, design and math in classrooms at the armory in the Kansas City, Kansas, and other Kansas Guard facilities in Manhattan, Salina, Topeka and Wichita.

The U.S. Department of Defense program worked to reach underserved communities and to provide students with mentorship from uniformed service members. The program has involved 132,000 Kansas students since 1993. The list of students grows by about 8,000 each year at no cost to school districts.

“It’s really a program that I fell in love with the first time I visited,” said Marshall, a Republican. “Learning how to measure things, how to do an experiment, learning the scientific process. But some people learn better by putting their hands on it rather than reading it from a book.”

Davids, the 3rd District Democrat, said programs like STARBASE provided students a head start on opening doors to careers in aviation, cybersecurity, engineering and public service.

“These programs don’t just prepare kids for their futures,” she said. “They strengthen our local economy by building a pipeline of talent that will attract businesses, create good-paying jobs and keep Kansas competitive. I’m proud to support this bipartisan program that reaches students from all backgrounds, ensuring that opportunity is never limited by zip code.”

In 2025, STARBASE faced funding cuts driven by the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, in the administration of President Donald Trump. Federal funding was restored through a bipartisan effort in Congress that involved&nbsp; members of the Kansas delegation.

Kansas National Guard celebrates restoration of KCK armory, hands-on education for fifth graders

The Hays Post is sharing an interview recorded previously with astronaut&nbsp;Victor Glover, a member of the Artemis II mission. The Artemis crew is en route to the moon as of Friday.

Glover was selected as an astronaut in 2013 and most recently served as pilot of the Crew-1 Dragon spacecraft, which flew to the International Space Station. Here is our interview with NASA astronaut Victor Glover.

Gary Shorman:&nbsp;&nbsp;Welcome again to "Forward Ever: Leading in Challenging Times" with a special guest from Houston, astronaut Victor.&nbsp;Thanks for being on our program today.

Victor Glover:&nbsp;Thanks, Gary, great to be here. Thanks for&nbsp;having me.

Gary Shorman:&nbsp;&nbsp;You know, one of the things I know that we talk about on this program is leadership. You have walked in space four times. I believe you've been on the space station. You've lived up there for a while. What puts you in position?

Victor Glover:&nbsp;You know, from a leadership, from a career standpoint, to be in the astronaut program, I love talking about leadership.&nbsp;I love the subject and, well, I think a part of it would be following having a bunch of great leaders to work with and look up to.

Initially, when you're put into a leadership position, you can freestyle it, or you can mimic what you've seen. So I would say some great leaders do imitate.

I worked for some amazing people. My squadron commanders, I worked for John McCain for almost a year. Charlie Bolden, who ran NASA, but he was a Marine Corps general when I worked for him the first time, and so I think that's a big part of it, having some really amazing leaders to look up to in the beginning.

Gary Shorman:&nbsp;Were there some key moments in your career that kind of turned you towards being an astronaut?

Victor Glover:&nbsp;Key moments? Wow. I was in college, tutoring for a program, and loved working with kids, teaching engineering, and felt like I really had found my calling. I was considering the military and teaching at the time.

So my boss in that program, thinking she was going to help, really set the hook for being an educator, had me meet the executive director of this program.

I went up to the University of California office, and I walk in his office, and there's a constellation of our solar system and a rocket. And he sees me, leans back in his chair, he takes his glasses off and sets it on a book.

I shake his hand, and sit down, and he taps on that book. And he says, you see that right there? That's how I live my dreams of space exploration and flying. And he says, You have a chance to go fly in the Navy. Go do it, and if anything else, it'll make you a better educator.

That conversation, which was that quick, really turned my thinking. I've always loved education and the impact we can have on young people, but that really helped me get comfortable with the idea of going and starting this Navy journey, which, you know, lots of other decisions on the way, but that was the big one, whether or not to leave college and go be an educator or to go serve in the military.

Gary Shorman: In our story, you talk to students about that. I'm sure you make those choices, make those things that can change your life. You've done that.

You had a chance to be at the space station, walk in space. Let's talk a little bit about that. What did it feel like to step outside the spaceship and just go shooting? I see space right there that has to be a breathtaking experience.

Victor Glover:&nbsp;That is it? It is breathtaking because you don't know what it's going to feel like when you first get out there. The advice I received that really just kept repeating in my head was, "Keep your world small."

One of my classmates said to me, and so I just focused on right what was in front of my face, my hands and the handrail, where I'm going next. And so it took me about three hours before I felt like, OK.

I kind of got the hang of this. I'm going to start looking around and maybe taking some pictures. Actually, on my first spacewalk, I did not take a single picture. There were no selfies to be taken on. it, but it was busy.

I'll tell you, that's what it is. You're busy. When you're outside, there's a lot to be done, and it all requires intense focus.

I&nbsp;wrestled in college, and I think space walking has a lot in common with wrestling, even though it may be physical in a different way. It's very physical. It's very three-dimensional.

Your success requires you to integrate the three dimensions and to think about what's coming next. And that's very true in wrestling and space walks. It's so challenging. It's busy physically and mentally.

But most importantly, you're working with a team. And that team, Mike Hopkins, who had been out on a spacewalk before, and led our first one, the first one I went on, and also the ground team, they all helped to make that possible.

But that first moment when you look out, and you can see that for real, there are just no words to describe it. We train in a pool where you can see the bottom of the pool. When you look out, and it's 250 miles straight down, you go, "Wow! this is amazing and special. But also, what am I doing?"

Gary Shorman:&nbsp;Letting go to actually float would have to be one of those experiences that you can think about, and I can say, "Boy, that'd be hard to do." But letting go when you're out there, and you see that space out there, that's amazing. What did it feel like when you were named to be on the Artemis mission?

Victor Glover:&nbsp;Ah, wow. It's interesting, because people ask about the excitement, and excitement is a part of it. But the professionals who do what I do, understand the risks associated with this.

There's a lot of software, a lot of pieces and parts to this, hardware, lots of people. This is made all over the country, in all 50 states of the Union, and then also parts overseas.

And it all has to work flawlessly the first time for the duration of the mission.

So we understand the risk. And so I would say the overriding feeling was, first of all shocked, because I didn't expect to be on this mission, so I was a little shocked. But then also, I know focus isn't a feeling, but the seriousness, that's my overriding feeling, was the seriousness of this.

This means a lot for our country, for our agency, for our Artemis Accords, international partners, and it's risky. My family is going to have to go on this journey with&nbsp;me. We have a lot to get done in the next couple of years. And so, yeah, profundity, if it's a if that's an emotion, it was profundity.

Gary Shorman:&nbsp;If you look at 50 years since we've had a mission like this, and you'll be the first one to head to the moon, there's more to it than just circling the moon, though. Tell us a little bit more about the long-term plans for the Artemis mission.

Victor Glover:&nbsp;Artemis is our generation's deep-space exploration program. It's not just the Moon Program. We're going to make sure this Orion capsule is safe for humans to fly, so that we can fly it to eventually dock to a lunar lander.

That will get us to the surface of the moon, or to a gateway space station that's orbiting the moon. Both of those things are going to enable future technologies and future techniques and future teams to go beyond the moon on to Mars.

And continue to understand, maybe, how the Earth looked in its past, or where we may be headed in the future, if we don't take better care of our planet.

So the Artemis program is a big campaign. The moon is just one destination, and that's our mission. Our mission is to do the free return trajectory around the moon, but really to test out Orion as one big step on this journey that's going to eventually get humans to Mars.

Gary Shorman:&nbsp;Orion is your spaceship, and you'll be the pilot of that as you approach the moon and circle the moon. What are you going to be looking for?

Victor Glover:&nbsp;Oh, wow. So there's a potential. The region of the moon, what we would call the Western Hemisphere, looking at it from Earth on the far side. That part has not been completely seen by human eyes, and I just learned that recently.

So the fact that there's a potential for us to see something that's never been seen before, that's amazing.

But no matter what, even if it's completely dark, to look out the window of the spacecraft and to look at the moon in the foreground, and then see the Earth in the background, in the distance, a quarter of a million miles away, with my crewmates, Reed, Cristina, and Jeremy. I don't know what that's going to feel like, but I'm looking forward to that. That's going to be amazing.

Gary Shorman:&nbsp;I hope you send us pictures back, Victor.&nbsp; I know you're short on time because you have a lot of people and you have a lot of training to do. That has to be intense training, because there are so many moving parts, as you say, that intensity, that focus it takes. How many hours a day do you train?

Victor Glover:&nbsp;So we will start training next month, and I imagine it's going to be chock full. I think they're going to schedule our days full. And you know, while some of it will be technical training, some of it will be continuing to engage the public, like we are now.

But also, we will be engaging the team that's developing the hardware or building hardware and software, and thanking them for their hard work and letting them know how much we count on their technical expertise. And so they're going to keep us busy. Gary, you can be best believe we'll have some full days until launch.

Gary Shorman:&nbsp;I can't wait to see how this all develops. Look forward to it, and maybe again later on, once you're back, get a chance to follow up on that. But Victor, thanks for being on our program.

The 42nd Salina Spring Poetry Series, sponsored and organized by Salina Arts &amp; Humanities, begins on Tuesday, April 7, with a reading by Adam Scheffler.

The reading will begin at 7:00 pm at Red Fern Booksellers (106 S Santa Fe Ave).

Admission will be $5 and free for students with ID.

Traci Brimhall, Kansas Poet Laureate, curated this year’s series. Brimhall selected poets with a broad range of perspectives who will share their work in Salina this April.

“A resident of Wichita, KS, Adam comes to us through California, Iowa, and Massachusetts. His poems travel, too, from Florida to Kentucky to Indiana. He’s a poet who looks deeply at place, the here and the now. But even if they are about the here and now, they are poems that move, the leap, that take you to place both beyond and within yourself. If I designed a drink after Adam, I would call it Witty and Rye.,” says Brimhall.

Adam Scheffler grew up in California, received his MFA in poetry from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and his PhD in English from Harvard. Scheffler serves as Assistant Professor of Poetry and Creative Writing at Wichita State University. He is the author of two books of poetry—A Dog's Life—which won the 2016 Jacar Press Book Contest, and Heartworm—which won the 2021 Moon City Press Prize. His poems have appeared in The American Poetry Review, Yale Review, Poem-a-Day, Verse Daily, Rattle, Narrative, and many other literary journals. He is also the author of a book of literary criticism, So This Is What It Feels Like: Empathy in the Poetry of James Wright (forthcoming from LSU Press in May.)

Saline County Jail Bookings, April 2

Meredith Caprice Trexler Drees passed away on March 28, 2026, at her home near Hill City, Kansas, surrounded by her family. She was born May 19, 1984, in Garden City, Kansas, to Brad and Kim Trexler and grew up on their farm and ranch near Hill City, Kansas.

Meredith accomplished and experienced so much in her too short life that a simple listing of each achievement and venture would be impressively long. More importantly, it would fail to emphasize the most important fact about her – her sincere, infectious love for everything true, good, and beautiful. People everywhere felt drawn to her by her magnetic personality, full of warmth, generosity, kindness, open-mindedness, and a genuine interest in other people and their stories. A devoted Christian, she let her light of moral and spiritual faithfulness shine in this needy and broken present time. Although her influence will long outlive her, her loss leaves ours a poorer world.

Meredith had an idyllic childhood on the Trexler farm and ranch. Her deep love for her life there on the farm and for her family – her grandparents Allen and Carol Trexler and her sister Brittney as well as her parents – was near the center of her soul throughout her life. Her parents equipped her with insights, skills, and especially a strong sense of confidence in herself and her abilities. This self-confidence bred the courage with which Meredith welcomed new experiences, and which was so prominent even at life’s end. Even as a child she was a talented artist, and her special feel for art and beauty was a lens framing everything else in her life. She loved animals in general but had special relationships with her dogs, Lily, Stella and Sage. She also had an affinity for horses, riding alone from the age of four and spending most childhood days on horseback. She attended and participated in many horse shows with her family, was a state fair champion, and twice earned a part in the American Quarter Horse Show in Fort Worth, Texas. In those years she was active in FFA and became a gifted public speaker like her father before her, a skill that would serve her well in her eventual career as a teacher and scholar.

After graduating from Hill City High School in 2002, she earned an A.A. Degree in Criminal Justice from Colby Community College, where she was a presidential scholar as well as the recipient of an art scholarship. She then attended Fort Hays State University. Meredith initially intended to major in Political Science as a preliminary to getting a law degree, but she soon discovered and switched to Philosophy after taking a stimulating class from Dr. Douglas Drabkin. As a Philosophy major, she began also to study with Dr. Stephen Tramel, who became a lifelong friend and mentor. In this period, she grew rapidly as a writer and independent thinker through exposure to philosophical issues and the writings of great philosophers, especially Plato. She also encountered the philosophical writings of C.S. Lewis. The link between the experience of beauty and moral development, emphasized by both Plato and Lewis, struck a deep chord in Meredith, and exploring and further developing this link became her lifelong project, the thread uniting all her later academic and professional life.

After graduating from Fort Hays State University with a B.A. in Philosophy and a minor in French, she studied abroad in France with a friend, Zach Jurgensen. This experience was to blossom in her future in two ways. It ignited a love of travel with its wonderful opportunities to experience the world’s wealth of art, architecture, foods, and history. Since that time, she has travelled often and extensively, especially to Europe, and spent time living and studying with a few others at the Kilns, C.S. Lewis’ home at Oxford, England. The other bloom was even more significant. Zach would later introduce her to her eventual husband. 

After her&nbsp;year abroad, Meredith began graduate studies at the University of Kansas, where she earned her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in philosophy. It was in 2007, during her studies at the University of Kansas, that Zach introduced Meredith to his friend, Jeff Drees. After some academically and professionally busy years in which they came to know and love each other deeply, Meredith and Jeff married on October 9, 2015, in Salina, Kansas. Meredith and Jeff have had a wonderful life together, each loving and entering into what mattered most to the other. Jeff was not only supportive of Meredith’s professional life, but he also welcomed becoming part of the life and work of the Trexler family farm and ranch. Jeff has become so fully a member of the Trexler family that, when Meredith’s father Brad died, he felt that he had lost another father.

After completing her Ph.D. at the University of Kansas in 2013, Meredith began her professional career as an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina, Kansas. Her impact was immediate and lasting. She brought enthusiasm and new energy to the university, transforming a small, marginal program into one that was vibrant and increasingly popular. As a teacher, she created new classes, interdisciplinary projects, a travel abroad program, and a campus-wide Socratic Café. Her impact on her students was immense, and her work and influence will live on through their lives and careers. Meredith was also active as a professional scholar. She was chosen to be a Research Fellow at Notre Dame’s Center for Philosophy of Religion. She made invited presentations to professional conferences at Rutgers University in New Jersey, in Dublin, Ireland, and in Athens, Greece. She has published several professional articles, including a collaborative article on Kant with the highly regarded Italian Kant scholar Paolo Diego Bubbio, contributed to various collections of essays, authored the book Aesthetic Experience and Moral Vision in Plato, Kant, and Murdoch, co-edited with Anne J. Mamary a&nbsp;collection of philosophical readings inspired by the work of Anthony Preus in the book Politeia: New Readings in the History of Philosophy, and was nearly done with another book, this time on Kant’s philosophy of religion, when she died. She will be sorely missed not only by her family, friends, and students, but by professionals in philosophy worldwide, among whom she had earned a respected name for herself.

Surviving family members include her husband, Jeff Drees (Hill City); mother, Kim Trexler (Hill City); mother-in-law, Jean (Larry) Buyse (Salina); grandfather, Allen Trexler (Hill City); sister, Brittney (Jerad) Johnson (Colby); sister-in-law, Bethany Hodges (Salina); aunts, Lynn (Ty) Bruton (Norton), Stacey Bradley (Amarillo, TX), Shelley McLeod (Ulysses), Jolene Wentz (St. Louis, MO); uncle Kirby (Sue) Bradley (Manhattan); many cousins; nieces, Blakeli Johnson, Marli Johnson and Laiklyn Hodges; nephews Briggs Johnson, Myles Johnson and Axtyn Hodges.

She was preceded in death by her father, Bradley Trexler; father-in-law, Bob Drees; grandmothers Carol Trexler and Patricia Borthwick and grandfather Don Bradley.

A celebration of her life will be held at 10:30 AM, April 2, 2026, at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Hill City, Kansas.

 </figure>Meredith Caprice Trexler Drees passed away on March 28, 2026, at her home near Hill City, Kansas, surrounded by her family. She was born May 19, 1984, in Garden City, Kansas, to Brad and Kim Trexler and grew up on their farm and ranch near Hill City, Kansas.Meredith accomplished and experienced so much in her too short life that a simple listing of each achievement and venture would be impressively long. More importantly, it would fail to emphasize the most important fact about her – her sincere, infectious love for everything true, good, and beautiful. People everywhere felt drawn to her by her magnetic personality, full of warmth, generosity, kindness, open-mindedness, and a genuine interest in other people and their stories. A devoted Christian, she let her light of moral and spiritual faithfulness shine in this needy and broken present time. Although her influence will long outlive her, her loss leaves ours a poorer world.Meredith had an idyllic childhood on the Trexler farm and ranch. Her deep love for her life there on the farm and for her family – her grandparents Allen and Carol Trexler and her sister Brittney as well as her parents – was near the center of her soul throughout her life. Her parents equipped her with insights, skills, and especially a strong sense of confidence in herself and her abilities. This self-confidence bred the courage with which Meredith welcomed new experiences, and which was so prominent even at life’s end. Even as a child she was a talented artist, and her special feel for art and beauty was a lens framing everything else in her life. She loved animals in general but had special relationships with her dogs, Lily, Stella and Sage. She also had an affinity for horses, riding alone from the age of four and spending most childhood days on horseback. She attended and participated in many horse shows with her family, was a state fair champion, and twice earned a part in the American Quarter Horse Show in Fort Worth, Texas. In those years she was active in FFA and became a gifted public speaker like her father before her, a skill that would serve her well in her eventual career as a teacher and scholar.After graduating from Hill City High School in 2002, she earned an A.A. Degree in Criminal Justice from Colby Community College, where she was a presidential scholar as well as the recipient of an art scholarship. She then attended Fort Hays State University. Meredith initially intended to major in Political Science as a preliminary to getting a law degree, but she soon discovered and switched to Philosophy after taking a stimulating class from Dr. Douglas Drabkin. As a Philosophy major, she began also to study with Dr. Stephen Tramel, who became a lifelong friend and mentor. In this period, she grew rapidly as a writer and independent thinker through exposure to philosophical issues and the writings of great philosophers, especially Plato. She also encountered the philosophical writings of C.S. Lewis. The link between the experience of beauty and moral development, emphasized by both Plato and Lewis, struck a deep chord in Meredith, and exploring and further developing this link became her lifelong project, the thread uniting all her later academic and professional life.After graduating from Fort Hays State University with a B.A. in Philosophy and a minor in French, she studied abroad in France with a friend, Zach Jurgensen. This experience was to blossom in her future in two ways. It ignited a love of travel with its wonderful opportunities to experience the world’s wealth of art, architecture, foods, and history. Since that time, she has travelled often and extensively, especially to Europe, and spent time living and studying with a few others at the Kilns, C.S. Lewis’ home at Oxford, England. The other bloom was even more significant. Zach would later introduce her to her eventual husband. After her&nbsp;year abroad, Meredith began graduate studies at the University of Kansas, where she earned her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in philosophy. It was in 2007, during her studies at the University of Kansas, that Zach introduced Meredith to his friend, Jeff Drees. After some academically and professionally busy years in which they came to know and love each other deeply, Meredith and Jeff married on October 9, 2015, in Salina, Kansas.

DOUGLAS COUNTY —A crash in Lawrence ended with an arrest after two men who heard the noise chased after the fleeing driver.

The crash occurred just before 3p.m. Tuesday, on North 3rd St. near North Street, according to a social media report from Lawrence Police. A pickup truck skidded about 50 feet before slamming into the rear-end of a car.  

Police learned the driver of the truck got out and started to run but two witnesses ran after him and brought him back to the scene.  Responding officers found that the truck had been driving erratically prior to the crash.  

The man had several outstanding warrants and was in possession of a substance officers believe is cocaine.  Medics transported him to the hospital to be checked out and he was later booked into the Douglas County Correctional Facility.

The people in the other car were not seriously injured, according to Lawrence Police.

Police: Witnesses chased Kan. man who ran from 2-vehicle crash

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods said Tuesday he is stepping away to seek treatment, four days after his vehicle crashed in Florida and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. He will miss the Masters for the second straight year.

“This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery,” Woods said&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/TigerWoods/status/2039110644255891907">in social media posts</a>.

Woods pleaded not guilty in&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/tiger-woods-crash-dui-arrest-masters-9c5ec2a699599289d263d553e309928e">his driving under the influence case</a>&nbsp;in Florida on Tuesday, hours after a sheriff’s report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled over on its side.

<a href="https://embed.documentcloud.org/documents/27928864-tiger-woods-arrest-affidavit?embed=true&amp;responsive=false&amp;sidebar=false">Click here to read the</a>&nbsp;full police report on Woods' accident.

The online court docket for Martin County showed Woods entered a written plea of not guilty and planned to waive his April 23 arraignment hearing.

It's the second time Woods has taken a leave following a car crash. In 2009, after his SUV plowed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home near Orlando, he took a leave of absence to work on being a better person. That lasted four months and he returned at the Masters.

Woods’ eyes were bloodshot and glassy, his pupils dilated and he had opioid pills — identified as hydrocodone — on him when interviewed&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/tiger-woods-car-crash-florida-10be5faefb91c86ce5da36a3590e86a1">at the scene of the crash</a>, according to the arrest report released by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

Woods’&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/florida-golf-tiger-woods-dui-dcec962e03e2bae3c8940c104d2575c1">movements were slow and lethargic</a>, he was sweating as he talked to deputies in the back seat of an air-conditioned car and he told them he had taken prescription medication earlier in the morning, according to the report.

Woods told deputies he had been looking at his phone and fiddling with the radio moments before he hit the trailer, the report said.

Woods has not played an official event since the 2024 British Open. He was recovering from a seventh back surgery in October and was trying to return at the Masters, where he is a five-time champion.

“I'm committed to take the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger and more focused place, both personally and professionally,” Woods said in his statement.

Woods will not be in Augusta, Georgia, where he was to appear with Masters chairman Fred Ridley to celebrate the opening of a refurbished municipal course that involved Woods, or for the prestigious Masters Club dinner for champions.

“Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament fully support Tiger Woods as he focuses on his well-being. Although Tiger will not be joining us in person next week, his presence will be felt here in Augusta,” Ridley said in a statement.

He is taking a break from the PGA Tour board

That means a break from more than just golf. He serves a key role on the PGA Tour board by leading its Future Competition Committee reshaping the schedule. A tour spokesman said Woods did not take part in Tuesday's meeting, and the work would continue in his absence.

“Over the last year, I have come to deeply appreciate Tiger not only for his impact on the game, but for his friendship and the perspective he has shared with me as I joined the golf industry,” said PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp, who started last summer. “My thoughts are with him and his family as he takes this step, for which he has my full respect and support.”

Woods’ defense attorney, Douglas Duncan, didn’t respond to an email and phone call after the plea was entered Tuesday.

Woods was traveling at high speeds on a beachside, residential road on Jupiter Island with a 30 mph (nearly 50 kph) when the accident occurred. The truck had $5,000 in damage, according to the report.

The truck driver and another person helped Woods out of his vehicle through the passenger window. Neither Woods nor the truck driver were injured.

During a field sobriety test, deputies noticed Woods limping and that he had a compression sock over his right knee. Woods explained he had undergone seven back surgeries and over 20 surgeries on his right leg, and that his ankle seizes up while walking.

Woods, who was hiccupping during questioning, continuously moved his head during one of the sobriety tests and deputies had to tell him several times to keep his head straight, the report said.

“Based on my observations of Woods, how he performed the exercises and based on my training, knowledge, and experience, I believed that Woods normal faculties were impaired, and he was unable to safely operate the motor vehicle,” the deputy wrote after the tests.

Woods, 50, is the most influential figure in golf and has become as recognizable as any athlete in the world. The first person of Black heritage to win the Masters in 1997, he has captivated golf fans with records likely never to be broken.

But his injuries have kept him from accomplishing more, including those suffered in the 2021 car crash in Los Angeles that damaged his right leg so badly he said doctors considered amputation.

At this latest crash, Woods agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test, authorities said. He was arrested and released on bail eight hours later.

Woods, who has been&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/tiger-woods-driving-80-mph-crash-suv-los-angeles-fc7405d255d84faa036614c566899086">involved in four crashes</a>&nbsp;over the years, is charged with driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.

Under a change to Florida law last year, refusing a law enforcement officer’s request to take a breath, blood or urine test became a misdemeanor, even for a first offense.
