Personal life

Ruggs credits his friend Roderic Scott with encouraging him to play football in high school. [7] Scott died in a car crash at 17 years of age, and Ruggs would honor him with a three-fingered salute after every touchdown because Scott wore number 3 on the basketball court. [7] Ruggs' brother Kevontae played college football for Ole Miss in 2018 before transferring to East Mississippi Community College in 2019. [32]

In April 2020, Ruggs partnered with Three Square, a southern Nevada food bank, to donate meals to those in need because of the COVID-19 pandemic. [33]

On May 7, 2020, Ruggs' daughter was born to his long-term girlfriend Rudy Washington. [34] [35] [36]

2021 fatal car crash

On November 2, 2021, Ruggs rear-ended another car at high speed in Spring Valley, outside of Las Vegas. Twenty-three year old Tina Tintor and her dog Max were burned to death in the fatal collision, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police and county prosecutors. [37] Ruggs was charged with driving under the influence resulting in death and reckless driving. [38]

Hours before the incident, Ruggs and his girlfriend, Kiara Kilgo-Washington, were seen drinking at a Topgolf location on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise. [39] They left after midnight in his Chevrolet Corvette. [40] Police produced digital evidence shortly thereafter showing that, at approximately 3:39 a.m., driving 156 miles per hour (251 km/h), Ruggs attempted to panic-stop the Corvette as he approached the Toyota RAV4 driven by Tintor, but lost control, slamming into her at 127 miles per hour (204 km/h). [1] [41] [42] The Clark County Coroner determined that Tintor and her dog burned to death as her vehicle was engulfed in flames following the collision. [43]

Ruggs and Kilgo-Washington were transported to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (UMCSN) with non-life-threatening injuries. [44]

Upon his release from the hospital, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department booked him into the Clark County Detention Center. [45] Ruggs appeared in court the following day, and Judge Joe M. Bonaventure set bail at $150,000. [46]

Police reports showed that Ruggs had refused to take a field sobriety test, and his blood test, taken two hours following the crash, revealed a blood alcohol content of 0.161%, more than twice the legal limit in Nevada. [47] Ruggs' defense attorney, David Chesnoff, argued that Ruggs was unable to submit a field sobriety test because of his injuries sustained in the accident, and claimed that the blood test should not be admissible as evidence since the police did not have probable cause to obtain a blood test. Justice of the Peace Ann Zimmerman rejected Chesnoff's arguments and ruled the blood test admissible as evidence in the case. [48]

On May 10, 2023, as part of a plea agreement, Ruggs pleaded guilty to one count of felony DUI resulting in death and one count of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. Prosecutors said they reached a plea deal due to concerns the blood draw would be thrown out, and with it the only evidence to support the felony DUI charge. They were not willing to chance Ruggs only facing charges of reckless driving, which could have only resulted in probation. He was sentenced on August 9, 2023, to spend between three and ten years at High Desert State Prison in Nevada. [49] [50] [51] [52]

By 2024, Ruggs was working at the Nevada Governor's Mansion whilst serving his sentence under the community trusty inmates program. Ruggs is up for parole in 2026, and he is eligible for credit for time served as part of his work program. [53]

Response

The Las Vegas Raiders released Ruggs hours after the incident on November 2, 2021. [54]

Various football players and coaches made public statements. Derek Carr, a former Raiders teammate, said Ruggs needs to be loved and that "if no one else will do it, I'll do it". Interim head coach Rich Bisaccia said, "We want to express our sincere condolences to the victim's family". [55] Kadarius Toney of the New York Giants drew criticism for seeming to ignore the gravity of the situation and excuse Ruggs when he tweeted, "We young…..everybody make mistakes… he know he messed up don't drag em for it……that's goofy to me…." [56] Nick Saban, who coached Ruggs on the Alabama Crimson Tide college football team, said, "We're going to support him through it, but we also have a lot of compassion for the victims, and our thoughts and prayers are also with them." [57]

Quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts, who both played with Ruggs at Alabama, also spoke on the matter. Tagovailoa said, "You'd never think this guy could hurt a soul, so when you see something like that – I mean, I'm still kind of in disbelief. But, obviously my heart goes out to the family that has been affected by it. But my heart also goes out to Henry as my teammate, ex-teammate." Hurts said, "It's unfortunate to see a situation like that unfold, and I'll just kind of leave it at that. It hurts my heart for everybody involved." [58]
