NJ court appearance for comic Artie Lange delayed

Court Alerts

A New Jersey court appearance for "Howard Stern Show" radio personality Artie Lange (LANG) on a charge of driving under the influence of an intoxicant has been rescheduled for next month.

The comedian and author of the best-selling book "Too Fat to Fish" originally was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday for a pretrial conference. That date is changed to Sept. 9.

Lange was charged following a minor traffic accident last month in Toms River, about 50 miles south-southwest of New York City.

Police say Lange's vehicle struck the back of another vehicle. They say no one was injured.

Defense lawyer Michael Grasso entered a not guilty plea for Lange on July 14. He says the 41-year-old Lange passed an alcohol screening test after the accident.
