Surveillance Cameras on Tiger Woods' Property
The photos authorities just released of the Tiger Woods crash show multiple surveillance cameras on Tiger's property -- and one of the cameras points right down the driveway.
As we first reported, cops wanted to see the surveillance video, but we're told it was not turned over.
If video exists, it should show both Tiger and his wife leaving the property.

Tiger Woods Statement 'I Let My Family Down'
Tiger Woods has just released the following statement on his website:
"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.
Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology."
Tiger Woods' Voicemail My Wife Is Onto Us
Us Weekly has just posted a voicemail allegedly left by Tiger Woods for his alleged mistress -- Jaimee Grubbs.
In the call, you hear someone who sounds just like Tiger telling Jaimee to remove her name from her own voicemail, because Tiger's wife Elin "went through my phone and may be calling you."
As we previously reported, Jaimee bragged about her relationship with Tiger to co-workers and even played them this voicemail at work.

Tiger Woods' Wife Asked for Help
Tiger Woods' neighbors -- the ones who made the 911 call -- just hired lawyers to talk to the media ... and one of them just offered up new details about what happened after the crash.
Attorney Bill Sharpe said the Adams family was awake when the crash occurred -- and that they were surprised, obviously, when they discovered it was Tiger lying on the ground outside their house.
Sharpe said Tiger's wife Elin asked them for help -- which is why they called 911. The lawyer said they gave Tiger a pillow and a blanket while they waited for an ambulance.
Sharpe said the family told him there were no indications the Woods were fighting that night -- and Elin was very concerned for Tiger's safety.
The next guy, attorney Christian Conrad, wasn't as forthcoming ... reading a brief statement about how the Adams family want to remain good neighbors by shutting their traps about what happened ... and want to be left alone.
Tiger Woods -- Bloodless Clues
Tiger Woods did not bleed in the vehicle he crashed Friday morning -- not a single drop -- according to law enforcement sources.
Cops from the Windermere PD, who first responded on scene, observed Tiger's lower lip split open and we're told he had other marks as well. But TMZ sources say there was absolutely no blood in the SUV.
What's more -- we've learned Tiger's wife, Elin Nordegren, told Windermere cops she smashed the back passenger window with the golf club, then unlocked the driver's door and dragged Tiger out. Yet there were no traces of blood.
This has created even more suspicion with law enforcement ... that Tiger's wounds may have not been the result of SUV meets fire hydrant.
We're told the Florida Highway Patrol has been frustrated by attempts to secure video of the accident. Even though we know there were surveillance cameras on Tiger's property, his lawyer isn't making video available. The people who manage the gated community have said they have no video of the crash.
As we first reported, the FHP sent troopers to the hospital where Tiger was treated yesterday in an attempt to secure medical records, which could unlock the mystery of how Tiger was injured. We're told, so far no luck. Although an FHP spokesperson has said the department has not asked for a search warrant to obtain medical records, we know they are pursuing that route.
As for what charges could be filed -- there are two possibilities on the table. The main focus now is Tiger's injuries. If the injuries have the markers of a domestic dispute, we're told Tiger's wife would almost certainly be arrested.
As for Tiger, troopers are looking at whether he was driving under the influence. As we have already reported, the paramedics on the scene saw that Tiger was unresponsive and asked Elin if he was taking any meds. She went inside, retrieved two prescription bottles and gave them to paramedics. Elin said she did not know when Tiger had last taken the meds. We already reported Tiger had told a friend he was taking prescription pain meds.
But in Florida, it's almost impossible to charge someone with DUI unless someone actually sees the suspect behind the wheel, driving the vehicle. No one has come forward saying they saw Tiger driving.

Florida Gators Star Busted for DUI
One of the most valuable players on the Florida Gator football team was arrested last night for DUI -- don't worry, it wasn't Tim Tebow.
Gainesville PD busted defensive superstar Carlos Dunlap early this morning when they saw his car stopped at an intersection -- while the light was green. When the officer approached the car, he found Dunlap asleep, slumped over the wheel of his car.
Dunlap -- who was the defensive MVP of last year's national championship game -- failed a field sobriety test, refused to take a breath test and was hauled into the station where he was booked.
The arrest comes just days before the Gators take on number two Alabama in the SEC championship. No decision has been announced about whether Dunlap will play in the game.
UPDATE: Florida coach Urban Meyer says Dunlap, and his team-leading seven sacks, will not play in the SEC championship. 'Bama nation rejoice.
Dwight Howard Blocks Out His Baby Mama
You'll never hear a negative word said about Dwight Howard by his baby mama ... because according to a judge, she's not even allowed to speak his name.
According to documents filed in Florida, the Orlando Magic superstar went to war in October with Royce Lyndsay Reed -- the mother of his 2-year-old son -- after she allegedly called him a deadbeat dad on her blog, Twitter and even during an ESPN interview.
Dwight also alleges Royce "is attempting to become a celebrity" from being his baby mama ... even agreeing to "participate in a VH1 television show called 'NBA Wives.'"
Dwight ended up winning a permanent injunction against Royce -- and according to the documents, she's banned from "using or publishing (orally, in writing, or otherwise), directly, indirectly or by innuendo, [Dwight's] name, nicknames, image, brand photographs, and/or likeness."
That finely manicured line of lawyerspeak makes it damn near impossible for Royce to appear on "Wives" ... unless she calls herself the baby mama of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
Yeah, that was a Harry Potter reference. What?
