Former Raider Henry Ruggs Denied Parole Nearly 5 Years After Deadly Car Crash
The former Raiders receiver was found to have driven up to 156 mph with a blood-alcohol level of 0.16%, prosecutors said.
- On Thursday, the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners denied parole for Henry Ruggs III, who is serving a prison sentence for a fatal 2021 vehicle crash in Las Vegas.
- Ruggs, a former Raiders wide receiver, drove his sports car at speeds up to 156 mph on Nov. 2, 2021, slamming into a vehicle that killed Tina Tintor and her dog, Max.
