Tiger Woods Fights Back At Prosecutor's Request In Court

Tiger Woods is firing back at a prosecutor's request in court.

The 50-year-old PGA Tour star was arrested on suspicion of DUI at the end of March. He was involved in a rollover wreck on Jupiter Island in Florida. Woods, a 15-time major champion, was arrested at the scene. He's been charged with driving under the influence and refusing to submit to testing.

Last week, prosecutors in court filed a request, seeking Woods' prescription drug records. Woods had some prescription pills on him at the time of his arrest. Woods told police "I took a few," referencing medications, when questioned at the scene.

However, his attorneys are firing back.

Woods and his attorneys are not happy with the request, as they are citing privacy concerns.

Lawyers for Woods fight back in court

His attorneys responded to the request with a motion of their own.

"Mr. Woods has a Constitutional Right to Privacy interest in his prescription records," his attorneys wrote.

According to a report from Court TV, his attorneys "requested an evidentiary hearing in which the state would be required to prove that the records are relevant to its criminal investigation."

Woods' attorneys do not believe that all of his prescription records are relevant to this case. Woods' arraignment is scheduled for April 23.
