A judge in Florida has granted prosecutors’ bid to get Tiger Woods’ prescription records in his drunk driving case, according to a report.
Judge Darren Steele is allowing prosecutors to issue a subpoena to the pharmacy where the golf champ got his meds but the records will not be made public, according to a report by TC Palm.
Last month Martin County prosecutors said they were seeking sweeping information about the drugs from Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, including any driving warnings that may have been on any of Woods’ pill bottles.
The office also wanted all information concerning Woods’ meds issued from Jan. 1 through March 27 – the date of the accident – about when the scripts were filled, the number of pills in each bottle, the dosage and any special instructions, court records showed.
Woods allegedly rolled his Range Rover SUV and hit a truck while he was trying to pass near his home on Jupiter Island.
The 50-year-old athlete was arrested at the scene after failing a field sobriety test and refusing to take a urine test while admitting to taking “a few pills.”
Two hydrocodone pills were found in his pocket, a police report said.
Woods has gotten into four car crashes since 2009 including one in which he was arrested for driving under the influence in 2017. He took a plea deal in that case.
In the current case, Woods has pleaded not guilty to one DUI count and one count of refusing a urinalysis test.
