Ex-Raiders WR Henry Ruggs III Pleads Guilty to DUI in Fatal Crash Case

Former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was sentenced to between three and 10 years in Nevada state prison Wednesday following a November 2021 car crash that led to the death of 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog.

Ruggs’s sentence comes after the 24-year-old pleaded guilty to one count of DUI and one count of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in May. Ruggs was driving at 156 mph when he crashed into Tintor, and his blood alcohol level (0.16) was two times higher than the legal limit, according to prosecutors.

Before Ruggs received his sentence, he apologized to Tintor’s family and parents in a statement that he read inside the court.

“I sincerely apologize for my actions the morning of Nov. 2, 2021,” Ruggs said, per KLAS-TV in Las Vegas. “My actions are not a true reflection of me.”
