Former Las Vegas Raider and Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III was sentenced on Wednesday to 3 to 10 years in prison, as stipulated in a plea deal stemming his fatal car crash in 2021. Ruggs was charged with a number of crimes for a November 2021 car crash in Las Vegas that killed 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog where he was under the influence of alcohol.
Ruggs’ plea deal with local prosecutors reduced several of the charges he was facing. He plead guilty to one count of DUI resulting in death and one count of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.
He had a charge for DUI causing substantial harm and two counts of reckless driving dropped as part of the deal.
Ruggs will begin serving his sentence in Nevada in short order.
