In Tiger Woods’ drunk driving case, Florida prosecutors are pursuing all information related to the golfer’s medications, including any warnings on his pill bottles, recent court documents reveal.
Prosecutors from Martin County, Florida, plan to issue a subpoena to Lewis Pharmacy on April 22. They aim to gather details on every prescription dispensed to Woods, particularly whether any warnings were provided that advised against driving while on prescription medications.
The attorney’s office is interested in specifics such as “the date and time the prescriptions were filled, the type of prescription, the number of pills in each prescription, the dosage, and any special instructions,” according to the filings.
They are particularly focused on records spanning from January 1 to March 27, which was the day Woods was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence. He had crashed his Range Rover SUV near his residence in Jupiter Island and was struck by a passing truck.
At 50 years old, the golf icon did not pass a field sobriety test and was taken into custody on-site.
A breathalyzer indicated no alcohol, but Woods refused to undergo a urine test and confessed to taking “a few pills.”
This incident marks one of several car accidents Woods has been involved in since 2009, with a notable wreck in 2017 leading to a drunk driving arrest for which he accepted a plea deal.
He has pleaded not guilty to the recent charges, expressing in a social media statement, “I recognize the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I will be taking a period of leave to undergo treatment and focus on my health.”
Woods’ attorney did not respond immediately to requests for comment on Wednesday.
