Florida prosecutors have filed notice that they will issue a subpoena for Tiger Woods’ prescription medications after the famed golfer was arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired in Jupiter Island, Florida on March 27.
Prosecutors said in a state court filing April 7 they will seek copies of “any and all prescription medication on file” for Woods to include type of prescription, number of pills, dosage amount and “all special instructions on how to take the medication,” including warnings about operating a motor vehicle while taking the prescriptions.
Woods, 50, previously has acknowledged having a sleep disorder and issues with pain medications. He has pleaded not guilty and said he is “stepping away” to “seek treatment and focus on my health.” He refused a urine test after his Land Rover flipped on its side in a residential neighborhood, leading Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek to say afterward that “we will never get definitive results as to what he was impaired on at the time of the crash."
This subpoena could provide the evidence prosecutors need to bolster their case against Woods in that regard. But Woods’ attorney can fight it by objecting to it within 10 days. Otherwise the subpoena will be issued April 22, according to filing in court.
