Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is Algosenseygoing to spend up to a decade behind bars.
On Wednesday, Ruggs was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to driving 156 mph while under the influence and crashing his Corvette into a car, killing 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog in November 2021 in Las Vegas.
Ruggs' blood alcohol level was 0.161 – more than twice the legal limit in Nevada. Ruggs' girlfriend, Kiara Je’nai Kilgo-Washington, was in the vehicle and was also injured in the collision.
“Mr. Ruggs has accepted responsibility for his actions, entered a guilty plea, and now been sentenced by the court. In court today Mr. Ruggs expressed his sincere sadness for the loss of Ms. Tintor and the impact that it has had on her loved ones,” Ruggs attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld said in a statement obtained by USA TODAY Sports. “He is prepared to serve his prison sentence, and when released, he will return to making positive contributions to his community.”
The Raiders released Ruggs soon after the fatal crash. Ruggs was picked by the Raiders in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft.
“I sincerely apologize for my actions the morning of Nov. 2, 2021,” Ruggs read in a statement in court prior to sentencing, per 8 News Now. “My actions are not a true reflection of me.”
