That filing requested that the pharmacy include the date and time prescriptions were filled, type of prescriptions, number of pills in each prescription, dosage amount, special instructions on how to take the medicine, date of next refill and "all warnings including but not limited to operating a motor vehicle while taking the prescription" from Jan. 1 to March 27.

Lewis Pharmacy is about 25 miles south of where Woods was arrested for his role in a rollover crash March 27 in Jupiter, Island, Fla. Woods faces charges of misdemeanor DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful test and distracted driving, which is a moving violation.
