LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs was booked into High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs on Monday.
The 24-year-old will be serving a 3-to-10-year sentence in prison in connection to a fatal DUI that killed 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog in November 2021.
Ruggs pleaded guilty to drunk driving resulting in death and two counts of reckless driving after he crashed into another car after "driving drunk at 156 mph," according to prosecutors. A blood test would also later show that Ruggs' blood-alcohol limit was twice the legal limit, which is 0.16 in Nevada, during the crash.
When Ruggs accepted a plea deal in May, which also includes a misdemeanor count of vehicular manslaughter, it reduced his sentence related to the DUI charge to "at least 3 years."
He will also serve anywhere from 1-6 years for felony reckless driving.
