Former Las Vegas Raiders receiver Henry Ruggs III was sentenced Wednesday to three in prison for a November 2021 drunken driving crash that killed a Las Vegas woman and her dog.
A Clark County District Court judge told Ruggs on Wednesday that it was one of the more tragic cases that she’s seen.
Ruggs, 24, had been under house arrest with alcohol and location electronic monitoring devices since pleading guilty in May to one count of DUI resulting in death and one count of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the crash that killed Tina Tintor. On Wednesday, Ruggs read from a statement directed at Tintor’s family in which he apologized for his actions.
“To the parents and family of Ms. Tintor, I sincerely apologize for the pain and suffering,” Ruggs said.
