“I know there’s a lot of experts who claim they’re drug recognition people said, ‘oh, they should have drawn blood’ or ‘done this’ or ‘done that,’” Villanueva noted. “And without the signs of impairment, we don’t get to the point where we can actually author a search warrant and develop the probable cause to get that and execute that search warrant. So that did not happen and that is not preferential treatment that would occur in any collision of this type based on these circumstances.”
Authorities mentioned they received permission from Woods’ family to release the findings of the investigation.
