Main Body

Tiger Woods had a car accident in Florida on March 27. His car hit a trailer and turned over. He drove too fast. Police found two pills on him. He says he did not do anything wrong. The police wanted to see his medicine list from a pharmacy. His lawyer said no. The lawyer wanted to keep the medical information private. Judge Darren Steele said the police need the records. He says the records are important for the case. Now the police and lawyers can see the list. Other people cannot see the records. The public cannot read them. Only the lawyers and experts can see the information.
