Prosecutors in Florida said they plan to seek Tiger Woods’ prescription medication records from a pharmacy in Palm Beach as part of the DUI case after Woods’ vehicle crash on Jupiter Island, according to documents cited in an online court docket. The motion centers on obtaining records that show when prescriptions were filled and what Woods was prescribed, including dosage details and any instructions attached to the medication.
Prosecutors said they planned to issue a subpoena requesting copies of Woods’ prescription drug records on file at Lewis Pharmacy, covering the period from the start of the year through the end of last month. Prosecutors in Martin County said the request would include the times prescriptions were filled, the number of pills, the dosage amounts, and any instructions accompanying the pills, such as warnings about driving while taking them.
The filings also set a deadline for any challenges to the subpoena, saying objections had to be filed with the State Attorney’s Office within 10 days. The records described in the docket are aimed at developing what medications were in Woods’ system around the time of the crash and whether any prescribing instructions were relevant to the driving allegations, prosecutors said.
Woods pleaded not guilty in the driving under the influence case in Florida last week, according to the AP report. The case followed a sheriff’s report that said deputies found two pain pills in Woods’ pocket and that Woods showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled over on its side.
Authorities said Woods was driving at high speeds on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island with a 30 mph speed limit when the crash occurred. An incident report cited in the AP story said the truck had about $5,000 in damage. Prosecutors said Woods agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test.
Woods said last week that he was stepping away to seek treatment. The AP report also said it was the second time Woods had taken a leave following a car crash, after a 2009 incident near Orlando in which his SUV plowed into a fire hydrant and tree and he later returned to competition at the Masters.
The AP story further noted Woods had been involved in a 2021 car crash in Los Angeles that damaged his right leg so badly he said doctors considered amputation.
Neither Lewis Pharmacy nor Woods’ attorney, Doug Duncan, responded immediately to emails seeking comment, the AP report said.
