MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida Highway Patrol trooper suspected golfer Tiger Woods had drunk alcohol on the day of his car accident last month, according to a subpoena request by the officer rejected by a state prosecutor.

The detailed subpoena request, released by the State Attorney's Office for Orange County on Monday, added fresh intrigue to the media storm around the world's No. 1 golfer, who ran his Cadillac SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree while pulling out of the driveway of his home at about 2 a.m. on November 27.

The November 30 request by the trooper for an investigative subpoena for Woods' blood test results was rejected by the State Attorney's Office due to "insufficient information provided." The request document listed the suspected crime as "Driving Under the Influence with Property Damage."

In other news, Tiger Woods was spotted stealing Heineken from a flooded bodega in Taiwan.

He may have just been tipsy from Skank perfume. He’s apparently been inhaling lots of it.

Why did he receive special treatment? Certainly, the hospital drew blood and they should have run it for alcohol. Did barry get to the cops that quickly?

He was in his private vehicle on his personal property. The cops had nothing to charge him with nor any basis for investigation.

At least that is my understanding of the situation.

He had a drink? In his own house? On Thanksgiving? I think he’s got bigger problems than this.

TOTALLY FALSE.

He was on a public road, driving a vehicle which is subject to the Motor Vehicle Laws of the state of Florida and his vehicle caused property damage and personal injury which is also covered by Florida statute.

You can try to spin this any way you like to justify his behaviour, but if you or I did the same as he did at 2:30AM, we would be arrested.

Hey, calm down. I was just saying that was my understanding of the situation. I’ll do some fact checking and get back to you.

I am indifferent to Tiger one way or the other. If he broke a law and then got away with it he should move to Southern California to be with more people like him (OJ, MJ. Blake — you know the litany).

Say it isn't so Tiger! First you can't keep your johnson in your pants when ladies are dropping their trousers for you and now you drink?

I am shocked ... simply shocked!

Hospital cannot turn over medical records to ANYONE including law enforcement without patent consent.
