The former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III has been sentenced to between three and 10 years in jail after he caused a car crash that killed a woman in November 2021.
Ruggs had been driving at speeds up to 156 mph shortly before he collided with a vehicle containing 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her pet dog. Tintor and her dog were killed after their car burst into flames. Blood samples taken after the crash showed that Ruggs had a blood-alcohol level of 0.16% — twice the legal limit in Nevada. The speed limit in the area of the crash was 45 mph. The Raiders cut the wide receiver the day after the crash, in which he suffered minor injuries.
