Henry Ruggs Agrees To Spend 3-10 Years In Prison In DUI Case, Judge To Decide Next

Henry Ruggs has agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors in his DUI case … and now, he could spend the next decade of his life behind bars if a judge signs off on the agreement.

Ruggs and his attorneys revealed the details of the deal at a hearing in a Nevada courtroom on Tuesday morning … explaining the former Raiders star receiver will plead guilty to one felony count of DUI resulting in death and one misdemeanor count of vehicular manslaughter stemming from the fatal car crash in Las Vegas that he was involved in back in November 2021.

In exchange for the guilty pleas, prosecutors said they will drop the rest of the charges against the former NFL player.

As part of the agreement, Ruggs’ attorneys also told the courtroom the 24-year-old would accept a sentence that included prison time of anywhere from 3 to 10 years.

Ruggs spoke briefly at the hearing, saying he agreed to all of the details of the outlined deal.

A judge is now expected to rule on the agreement at another hearing next week. If the judge does not agree to the stipulations, Ruggs’ attorneys said the deal allows for his client to withdraw the guilty pleas and move forward with a trial.

“This is the first step toward a fair resolution to this matter,” Ruggs’ lawyers, David Z. Chesnoff and Richard A. Schonfeld, said following the hearing, “and we look forward to closure for all the parties involved.”

As we reported, Ruggs was initially hit with four felonies and a misdemeanor in the case … after prosecutors say he drunkenly slammed his Corvette into the back of Tina Tintor‘s Toyota Rav4, killing her and her dog.

According to prosecutors, Ruggs was traveling at 156 MPH just before the crash … with a blood alcohol level that was twice the legal limit.

Ruggs, the 12th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, was cut by the Raiders immediately after the accident … and hasn’t played a down in the NFL since.
