Bodycam footage from Tiger Woods's arrest last Friday has been released. There is video of a police officer performing a field sobriety test as well as the actual moment Woods is handcuffed. There is also video of an officer's initial physical inspection of Woods for injury and later video showing him appearing to be falling asleep in the back of an officer's vehicle.

In the initial video Woods is shown on one knee speaking to a police officer. Woods tells the officer, "I looked down at my phone and then all the sudden, boom." The officer pats down his back to check him for injuries and walks away after telling him the paramedic will still check him out.

In the third video Woods appears to be falling asleep in a police vehicle. You can also see he has the hiccups that were mentioned in the police report.

Most of the footage in the first video focuses on the driver of the truck whose trailer Woods clipped while trying to pass him over a double-yellow line. The final 30 seconds of the two-minute video show the police trying to get traffic to re-route. That was the first video to surface today.

The second and third videos, which show how Tiger was moving and then struggling to stay awake, are much more troubling. The police report said that Woods had trouble walking and showed several signs of impairment. He also had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket. In the arrest video you can hear him describing all the medication he was on that day, with everything except for Motrin and Ibuprofen edited out.

In the wake of the latest incident Woods has announced he is stepping away from golf to seek treatment overseas, which means he will not be at the Masters next week. CBS does not plan to discuss the situation.

This article has been updated to include more videos from the arrest.
