A Florida trooper who suspected Tiger Woods was driving under the influence sought a subpoena for the golfer's blood results from the hospital he was taken to after crashing his SUV, but prosecutors rejected the petition for insufficient information, according to a police report released yesterday.
A witness, who wasn't identified, told trooper Joshua Evans that Woods had been drinking alcohol earlier, the AP reports. The same witness also said Woods had been prescribed two drugs, Ambien and Vicodin.
The report did not say who the witness was but added it was the same person who pulled Woods from the vehicle after the accident outside his home. Woods' wife, Elin, has told police that she used a golf club to smash the back windows of the Cadillac Escalade to help her husband out.

Woods' attorney, Mark NeJame, didn't return a phone call for comment.
In other Tiger developments: "The Oprah Winfrey Show" has asked Woods to be a guest, a rep for the show told "Entertainment Tonight." The show would prove to be a comfortable forum for the golfer to discuss his "transgressions," which have resulted in a precipitous drop in his popularity.
A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released yesterday shows that Woods' favorable rating among the public has dropped 24 percentage points since June. Only 60 percent of people polled now view the golfer favorably, down from 84 percent.
And Radar Online reported yesterday that Woods' wife, Elin, has moved out of their home, but that could not be confirmed.
