Ruggs is on house arrest. Previously, he was ordered by a judge to be tested for alcohol four times each day. As part of his bail conditions, Riggs was ordered to surrender his passport to a defense attorney and he cannot drive.
Police say Ruggs was driving 156 miles per hour before the crash that killed 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog, Max.
District Attorney Steve Wolfson says he's received a lot of emails about bringing animal cruelty charges against Ruggs. I’m a dog lover but the State of Nevada doesn’t allow it," said Wolfson.
