Tiger Woods Faces DUI Charges, Prescription Records Subpoenaed

0:00It's April 8th. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is Global News Today, your AI-powered, world briefing. Tiger Woods faces driving under the influence charges after crashing his car in Florida last month. He pleaded not guilty and no one got hurt when his SUV hit a truck and flipped. Woods had to climb out the passenger side to get free. Police dropped body camera footage from the scene earlier this month. Woods stayed calm, admitting he glanced at his phone right before impact. He passed the breathalyzer but skipped a urine test and cops found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket, a common pain med. This March Woods is second DUI bust. Back in 2017, officers found him asleep in his car with five different drugs in his system, including painkillers and sleep aids. He had a similar issue in a 2009 crash too, though no arrests then. A new core filing pushes for a subpoena on his prescription records set to drop on April 22nd, unless his team objects in the next 10 days.

1:00Prosecutors hope it strengthens their case on impairment from some unknown substance. Woods announced he's stepping back to get treatment and prioritizes health for real recovery. I stay glued on how his lawyers counter this and what comes next in court.
