Tiger Woods' attorney is actively contesting a subpoena that prosecutors intend to issue for his prescription drug records in connection with his DUI case.
Woods was arrested for driving under the influence following a two-vehicle crash where his vehicle overturned. The subpoena aims to obtain copies of any and all prescription medication records for Woods from January 1 through March 27, the date of his arrest.
His attorney, Douglas Duncan, argues that the subpoena infringes upon Woods' constitutional right to privacy. Duncan has also requested a hearing to determine if prosecutors should be permitted to access these records.
Woods informed law enforcement that he has undergone multiple back and leg surgeries and takes "a few" prescription medications. He reportedly walks with a limp due to past injuries. Authorities stated that Woods appeared "lethargic" and was placed in handcuffs after sobriety tests, with the arresting deputy believing he was under an "unknown substance."
This marks the second DUI arrest for Woods, who was previously taken into custody in 2017. He was later granted permission to travel abroad for comprehensive inpatient treatment.
Woods faces charges including driving under the influence, property damage, refusal to submit to testing, and careless driving. He has pleaded not guilty and demanded a jury trial.
