As Henry Ruggs III’s former Las Vegas Raiders teammates watched Super Bowl LVIII this past Sunday, he continues his sentence at a Nevada prison camp with dorms rather than jail cells.
Ruggs, 25, is incarcerated at Stewart Conservation Camp, which is described as a minimum-security complex in Carson City, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS.
No word if he watched the iconic football game played at Allegiant Stadium.
Nowadays, he’s been earning $2.50 an hour at a job that has him work off-site for government offices, KLAS reported.
Transfer From Prison
First, he was incarcerated at High Desert State Prison, after pleading guilty to two charges stemming from a deadly collision.
In September, he reportedly was transferred to the minimum-security facility.
Ruggs was sentenced in August to at least three years in prison. He could be granted parole in August 2026.
In November 2021, Ruggs was driving up to 156 mph on Rainbow Boulevard in Las Vegas. He crashed his Corvette into a Toyota RAV4, driven by Tina Tintor, 23. She and her dog, Max, both perished in the fiery collision.
Ruggs’ blood-alcohol level after the deadly incident was 0.16, authorities revealed. That’s double the legal limit.
Initially, he was charged with DUI resulting in death, DUI resulting in bodily harm, two counts of reckless driving resulting in death or substantial bodily harm, and possession of a firearm while under the influence.
Ruggs faced up to 50 years in prison if he had been convicted of dropped charges, prosecutors said.
But he pled guilty to reduced charges of DUI resulting in death and vehicular manslaughter.
The firearm charge was one of those dropped counts even though a loaded gun was found in his Corvette after the crash.
Ruggs was socializing at TopGolf in Las Vegas hours before the crash.
Courtroom Apology
Before being sentenced, Ruggs last year apologized to Tintor’s family, his former team (the Las Vegas Raiders), and his relatives.
“To the parents and family of Ms. Tintor, I sincerely apologize for the pain and suffering my actions the morning of Nov. 2, 2021, have caused you, your family and those who knew Ms. Tina and Max,” Ruggs said in the courtroom.
I let my family, my teammates and those who believed in me down with my actions and hurt so many.”
After the crash, Ruggs was released by the Raiders. He had signed a four-year NFL contract reportedly worth more than $16M.
He was a first-round NFL Draft pick. Ruggs led the Raiders in receiving yards in 2021. The former Alabama standout had 24 receptions, 469 receiving yards, and two touchdowns through seven games.
His sentence has been questioned by former NFL star and celebrity O. J. Simpson, who believed it to be short, compared to his own sentence for armed robbery, which was between nine and 33 years.
