Prosecutors move to subpoena Tiger Woods' prescription drug records after Florida DUI arrest
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors are seeking Tiger Woods' prescription drug records from a pharmacy, a week after his vehicle crashed in Florida and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Prosecutors in Florida on Tuesday said they planned to issue a subpoena seeking copies of all prescription medication records for the legendary golfer on file at Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, Florida.
Prosecutors in Martin County, Florida, want the times the prescriptions were filled, the number of pills, the dosage amounts and any instructions that accompanied the pills, such as warnings about driving while taking them, according to documents in an online court docket. Neither Lewis Pharmacy nor Woods' attorney, Doug Duncan, immediately responded to an emails seeking comment. Woods pleaded not guilty in his driving under the influence case in Florida last week, hours after a sheriff’s report said deputies found two pain pills in his pocket and he showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled over on its side.
Woods said last week that he is stepping away to seek treatment. It’s the second time Woods has taken a leave following a car crash. In 2009, after his SUV plowed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home near Orlando, he took a leave of absence to work on being a better person.
That lasted four months and he returned at the Masters. He also was in a 2021 car crash in Los Angeles that damaged his right leg so badly he said doctors considered amputation. ___ Follow Mike Schneider on the social platform Bluesky: @mikeysid.
