"Prosecutors are requesting the number of times Woods' prescriptions were filled from Jan. 1 to March 27, the number of pills, the dosage amounts and any instructions that accompanied the pills, including warnings about driving while taking them."
"Woods is charged with misdemeanor DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful test and distracted driving, a moving violation."
"Duncan said the defense objected to the issuance of a subpoena and requested a court hearing to determine if the prescription drug records are 'relevant to a criminal investigation.'"
Tiger Woods' attorney is challenging prosecutors' efforts to subpoena his prescription drug records from a pharmacy, asserting Woods' constitutional Right to Privacy.

Following his arrest, he announced a temporary withdrawal from professional golf for health treatment. The defense is requesting a court hearing to assess the relevance of the records to the criminal investigation.
