Overview
- Prosecutors filed a notice Monday saying they intend to subpoena medical records from Cleveland Clinic Martin South and will issue the subpoena on June 30 unless Woods’ lawyers object by June 25.
- The proposed subpoena seeks any patient statements about alcohol or chemical use, all drug-screen results from the hospital visit after the March 27 rollover, and the names of personnel who performed testing.
- A judge already allowed prosecutors limited access to Woods’ pharmacy prescription records under a protective order in May, and prosecutors say hospital records would expand that evidence about medications and testing.
- Police reported Woods showed signs of impairment at the crash scene, registered a 0.00 breath-alcohol result, refused a urinalysis, and officers found two opioid pills on him; Woods has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor DUI charges.
- If the defense challenges the subpoena the court will weigh medical-privacy rules against prosecutors’ need for evidence, and the outcome could shape what medical details enter the criminal case and public record.
