Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was ordered by a judge to appear in court after he missed a scheduled alcohol test, according to CBS affiliate KLAS-TV. Ruggs is currently under house arrest after he allegedly caused a fatal car crash while driving under the influence at over 150 mph.
At a hearing on Wednesday, Ruggs' attorney told Judge Suzan Baucum that the former NFL player had self-tested after missing the required test, KLAS-TV reports. Baucum said that didn't matter and ordered Ruggs to appear in-person on Monday.
Ruggs is currently out on bond, but the conditions of his release require him to abstain from alcohol and take a breathalyzer test four times a day. According to the Associated Press, Ruggs is notified by text or phone call, which he must respond to, when it's time for each test. He must then blow into a device that checks his blood-alcohol content. Ruggs' attorney blamed the delay on a problem with the testing equipment, AP reports.
