The fight over Tiger Woods prescription drug records picks up after DUI arrest

Tiger Woods’ legal team has objected to a subpoena request by Florida state prosecutors to release the pro golfer’s medication records after his DUI arrest in Jupiter Island on March 27, according to USA Today.Prosecutors in the case, for which Woods pleaded not guilty to DUI, filed a notice in court on April 7, saying they planned to subpoena Woods’ medication records since Jan.1.“The defense objects to the issuance of a subpoena and requests the court to conduct a hearing to determine if the prescription records are ‘relevant to the criminal investigation,’” said Woods’ attorney, Douglas Duncan — adding that they want a protective order governing the use and release of the medication records to shield them from public view, the report continues.State prosecutors didn’t share their reasoning behind the subpoena filing for Woods’ prescription records.Woods, who refused to take a urine test after his rollover crash, blew zeros on his breathalyzer test and told an arresting officer that he had taken his prescription meds earlier in the day.

The names of the medication were redacted in an arrest affidavit released by the Martin County Sheriff’s Department.“We will never get definitive results as to what he was impaired on at the time of the crash,” Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said.Two hydrocodone pills were found in the golfer’s pocket during a search.Woods was “sweating profusely,” and his movement was “lethargic and slow” while he was being interviewed by police, Deputy Tatiana Levenar wrote in the affidavit — adding that his eyes were “bloodshot and glassy” and his pupils were “extremely dilated.” The crash involved Woods’ Land Rover and a pressure-cleaning truck pulling a small trailer, Budensiek said.Woods explained in a statement that he was stepping away from the game to get treatment after the incident.
