Martin County Prosecutors Subpoena Tiger Woods' Pharmacy Records in DUI Case

Martin County prosecutors are moving to compel a Palm Beach pharmacy to hand over Tiger Woods' prescription drug records, a step that signals the State Attorney's Office is building a case far more complex than a roadside DUI stop.

Court documents filed this week in the Martin County docket show prosecutors plan to issue a subpoena to Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, seeking records of all prescription medications on file for Woods from Jan. 1 through the end of last month — the period that brackets his arrest on Jupiter Island.

The scope of the subpoena is precise and telling. Prosecutors want the dates prescriptions were filled, pill counts, dosage amounts, and any written warnings that accompanied the medications — specifically, warnings about operating a vehicle while taking them. That last detail suggests the State Attorney's Office may be pursuing a theory that Woods was on notice that his prescribed drugs impaired his ability to drive.

Woods was arrested last month after his SUV clipped a trailer and rolled onto its side on a beachside residential road on Jupiter Island where the posted speed limit is 30 mph. A Martin County Sheriff's deputy found two pain pills in his pocket at the scene. He submitted to a Breathalyzer — the result showed no alcohol — but refused a urine test, authorities said. Under a new Florida law Officials said, that refusal is itself a prosecutable offense in this case.

Woods pleaded not guilty last week, hours after the Martin County Sheriff's Office released a report detailing the deputy's account of his condition at the scene. The report also noted the truck he struck sustained $5,000 in damage.

Woods' attorney, Doug Duncan, did not respond to a request for comment. Lewis Pharmacy also did not respond. Any objection to the subpoena must be filed with the State Attorney's Office within 10 days of service.

Woods said last week he is leaving to seek treatment. It is the second time he has stepped away following a crash — in 2009, he took a four-month leave after an incident outside his Orlando-area home. In 2017, he pleaded guilty to reckless driving in Palm Beach County in a prior DUI-related case, paying a $250 fine and completing DUI school.

Reporter's note — Pre-filing checklist (confidence score below 0.80): The following facts require verification before final publication:

- Pharmacy name ("Lewis Pharmacy") — confirmed in WPTV source material, but spelling and exact Palm Beach address should be cross-referenced against the court subpoena document itself. - Statute authorizing prosecution for test refusal — source material references "a new Florida law" but does not cite a statute number or effective date. Florida legislative records or the court filing should be consulted. - Exact arrest date and crash date — source material uses "last month" throughout; the specific date must be confirmed against the Martin County booking record and arrest affidavit before publication. - Booking number — not present in any source signal. Required per editor standards for named-suspect arrest stories. Must be obtained from Martin County Sheriff's Office or online jail docket. - Two pain pills: drug name and identity — source material does not identify the pills. The arrest affidavit or toxicology report, if available, should be pulled. - "Talking to the president" quote — referenced in a related WPTV headline but not included in source material provided. Do not use without confirming against body cam footage or deputy's written report.

This article should not be published without resolving the booking number gap and the test-refusal statute citation at minimum.
