Judge To Hear Arguments in Tiger Woods DUI Case
1 week ago
Attorneys for golf star Tiger Woods are set to battle prosecutors in a Florida courtroom over whether his prescription drug records should be turned over following his DUI arrest earlier this year.
Prosecutors are seeking records from a Palm Beach pharmacy covering the first three months of the year as part of their case against Woods. His defense attorney argues the golfer has a constitutional right to privacy regarding his medical and prescription history.
Woods has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence after deputies said he showed signs of impairment following a crash on Jupiter Island in March.
Authorities said Woods was driving at high speeds on a residential road when his SUV clipped a truck trailer and rolled over. Deputies reportedly found pain pills in his pocket. A Breathalyzer test showed no alcohol in his system, though investigators said Woods refused to take a urine test.
