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.
