Judge orders Henry Ruggs back to court after missed alcohol test

LAS VEGAS -- A Las Vegas judge ordered former Raiders receiver Henry Ruggs III to appear before her on Monday after learning he missed a required alcohol test while on house arrest following a fatal crash he's accused of causing by driving drunk at speeds up to 156 mph.

Ruggs' lawyers told Justice of the Peace Suzan Baucum that Ruggs "self-tested" negative shortly after missing one of his calls for a breath test last week.

Ruggs' attorney, David Chesnoff, blamed the delay on trouble with testing equipment.

Ruggs, 22, was not in court for the brief hearing Wednesday during which Baucum also told his lawyers she won't issue a subpoena for fire department records about the fatal Nov.
