Tiger Woods' Lawyer Fights Subpoena for Prescription Records in DUI Case
Tiger Woods' attorney, Doug Duncan, has vowed to challenge a prosecutor's subpoena seeking the golf legend's prescription drug records in connection with his recent driving under the influence (DUI) arrest in Florida. In a court filing, Duncan argued that Woods possesses a constitutional right to privacy regarding his medical history. The defense has requested a hearing to determine the necessity of these records for the criminal investigation. If the judge deems them essential, the attorney seeks a protective order to restrict access strictly to prosecutors, law enforcement, experts, and the defense team. Woods pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge following a March 27 incident on Jupiter Island, where his SUV rolled over after clipping a truck. While a Breathalyzer test showed no alcohol, deputies found pain pills in his pocket, and he refused a urine test. Prosecutors are specifically targeting records from Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach. Additionally, they have demanded that Woods disclose the names and locations of any witnesses he intends to call for his defense, escalating the legal proceedings surrounding the high-profile case.
