7:15 AM PT Tuesday -- TMZ Sports obtained the arrest affidavit that shows Tiger Woods had two loose hydrocodone pills in his pocket at the time of his DUI arrest and stumbled through his field sobriety test.

Tiger Woods was arrested in Jupiter, FL, after speeding down a street, clipping a car, and rolling his Range Rover over ... according to law enforcement.

The accident happened around 2 PM ET. A pickup truck was turning into a driveway on a two-lane street when the Range Rover roared down the street at a high speed, according to Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek.

The beloved hard-nosed character actor appeared in several classic '80s films, such as "Top Gun" and "War Games" ... but he was best known as Vice Principal Strickland in the 'BTTF' films, always giving Marty McFly a hard time about being a slacker.

His agent, John Alcantar, tells TMZ ... James loved the 'BTTF' fandom and got a kick out of being at conventions. Despite playing hard-asses on screen ... Tolkan was a total sweetheart of a man.

He is survived by his wife, Parmelee.

Tolkan was 94.

''Looksmaxxing'' influencer Clavicular didn't instigate a fight between a couple women on his stream, and his behavior was a result of him being autistic ... sources close to him tell TMZ.

The popular streamer was arrested in Florida on Thursday and hit with a misdemeanor battery charge after cops say he instigated a fight between a 19-year-old woman and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Violet ... but sources close to him are pushing back on the police narrative.

Sources close to Clavicular tell us he did not assault or instigate anyone in the February incident, and the girl who called police and claimed his girlfriend battered her is someone who has been trying to gain fame and clout off Clav's back.

Claudia Jordan says she and President Donald Trump used to be pals ... but the man in the Oval Office isn't one she recognizes anymore -- and she's calling out his mental state.

Britney Spears is back on Instagram after her DUI arrest 3 weeks ago, capturing some cute clips with her son Jayden Federline before the footage gets a little ... odd.

She stops abruptly, saying ... "I'm composure. I'm being very composed."

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge granted a default judgment in the amount of approximately $160K against Aaron.

The case was brought by a widower named Rupert Perry, who says he lost his wife, Elina Katsioula-Beall, in May 2024 following a battle with sarcoma cancer.

Rupert filed a lawsuit against Aaron for alleged fraud and breach of contract in November 2024, claiming Elina met Aaron -- who was running a wellness center at the time -- in June 2023 when her normal cancer treatments were not working.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" production may still be on pause ... but the drama continues to erupt, even behind the scenes.

Hope captions the post with "GRWM while I process my friend group being a waiting room for my ex-husband" -- GRWM meaning "get ready with me" for those who aren't chronically online -- and she's clearly alluding to the recent scandal involving her baby daddy ... along with his history of getting with other members of her girl group.

"I'm not taking him lightly," Wilson told us. "He has a passion for WWE and I think that's the big difference between a lot of celebrities before and maybe a Jelly Roll and a Logan Paul. I know I'm good at this. I know I'm one of the best. I know I'm going to be one of the future greats, but Jelly Roll cares. Jelly Roll has passion. So I know not to underestimate that."
