PHOENIX (AP) - The mother of an 8-month-old Arizona boy missing for more than two months has refused to go to court, delaying the case.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Ryan would have ruled on two motions Tuesday had 23-year-old Elizabeth Johnson not refused to leave her Maricopa County jail cell.

Ryan rescheduled the hearing for March 17, telling sheriff's deputies to "use any means necessary" to get her there. Ryan is expected to rule on a couple of procedural matters at the hearing, including designating the case as complex so attorneys have more time to argue their cases.

Johnson's son Gabriel was 8 months old when he was last seen in late December in San Antonio, and police don't know whether he's alive.

Police say Johnson drove the boy to San Antonio from Tempe, stayed about a week, then took a bus to Florida without him.

She was arrested Dec. 30 in Florida and is charged in Arizona with kidnapping, child abuse and custodial interference.
