Attorneys for Henry Ruggs III fight to keep medical records from prosecutors

LAS VEGAS -- Attorneys for former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III are fighting to keep his medical records out of the hands of prosecutors charging him with driving under the influence in a fiery crash that killed a woman and cost Ruggs his NFL job.

Ruggs, 22, didn't appear in person in court Wednesday, as prosecutors filed additional charges that could mean additional prison time if the 2020 first-round NFL draft pick is convicted.

He is accused of driving 156 mph with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit in Nevada when his sports car slammed into the rear of Tina Tintor's vehicle early Nov.
