Former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is expected to plead guilty to “one count of DUI resulting in death and one count of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter,” according to ESPN, following the 2021 car crash that resulted in the death of 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog.
Ruggs, who was released from the Raiders less than 24 hours after the crash, will plead guilty to both counts during his hearing in the 8th Judicial District Court next week on May 10. He will serve anywhere from three to 10 years in the Nevada state prison.
The former wide receiver agreed to a plea deal that was presented in Las Vegas justice court Tuesday. The agreement included the dropping of one count of DUI causing substantial harm regarding his passenger—his girlfriend, Kiara Je’nai Kilgo-Washington, sustained substantial injuries in the crash—and two counts of reckless driving.
