“He’ll pay the price, but he’s not going to pay the price by getting punished in jail.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The concept that Woods will face consequences but not through jail punishment is mentioned across several web search results, but the phrasing and context are varied, and no single source provides a definitive, standalone statement that can be corroborated by two independent sources. The evidence suggests consequences are expected, but the specific phrasing 'not going to pay the price by getting punished in jail' is not consistently reported as a direct quote or confirmed fact.

“It was the second time Woods has been arrested for a DUI not as a result of the influence of alcohol. He said he took a bad mix of painkillers when authorities found him in 2017 asleep behind the wheel of his car, the engine still running and its driver’s side damaged. Woods pleaded guilty then to reckless driving.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim regarding a prior DUI arrest in 2017 involving painkillers, being found asleep with the engine running, and pleading guilty to reckless driving is detailed in the web search results, but the evidence provided does not contain enough independent sources to corroborate this specific historical event across multiple organizations.
