WINDERMERE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida trooper who suspected Tiger Woods was driving under the influence requested a subpoena for the golfer's blood results from the hospital he visited after crashing his SUV. But prosecutors rejected the petition for insufficient information.

A witness, who wasn't identified in a police report released Monday, told trooper Joshua Evans that Woods had been drinking alcohol earlier in the day.

That same witness also told the trooper that Woods had been prescribed two drugs, Ambien and Vicodin. The report did not say how the witness knew that.

The world's No. 1 golfer hit a hydrant and a tree around 2:25 a.m. on Nov. 27. The Florida Highway Patrol fined the golfer $164 and cited him for careless driving.
