ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors are searching Tiger forest’ medication details on a prescription from a pharmacy, one week later his vehicle crashed in Florida and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Prosecutors in Florida said Tuesday they planned to issue a subpoena requesting copies of all prescription drug records for the legendary golfer that were registered at Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, Florida, from the beginning of this year to the end of last month.
Prosecutors in Martin County, Florida, want the times the prescriptions were filled, the number of pills, dosage amounts and any instructions that came with the pills, such as warnings about driving while taking them, according to documents in an online court docket.
Any objections to the summons must be submitted to the Public Prosecution Service within ten days. Neither Lewis Pharmacy nor Woods’ attorney, Doug Duncan, immediately responded to emails seeking comment.
Woods pleaded not guilty his drunk driving case in Florida last week, hours after a sheriff’s report showed officers found two painkillers in his pocket and that he showed signs of impairment after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled on its side.
Woods was driving at a high rate of speed on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island with a speed limit of 30 mph (nearly 50 km per hour) when the crash occurred, authorities said. The truck had $5,000 in damage, according to an incident report. Woods consented to a breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but he refused a urine test, authorities said.
Woods said last week that he is stepping down to seek treatment.
This is the second time Woods has taken a leave of absence after a car accident. In 2009, after his SUV crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree outside his home near Orlando, he took a leave of absence to work on becoming a better person. That lasted four months and he returned to the Masters.
He was also involved in a car accident in Los Angeles in 2021, which left his right leg so severely damaged that he said doctors considered amputation.
