LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Former Las Vegas Raider Henry Ruggs III was serving his 3-to-10-year prison sentence at a northern Nevada prison camp, records showed.
Ruggs, 25, was sentenced on Aug. 9, 2023, after pleading guilty to driving drunk at 156 mph and crashing into a car killing 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog. The crash happened in November 2021. Prosecutors had said Ruggs’ blood-alcohol level was 0.16, which is twice the legal limit.
Ruggs began his sentence at the High Desert State Prison northwest of Las Vegas, records showed. The prison, the largest in the department, is a 45-minute drive northwest of Las Vegas.
Ruggs was incarcerated Tuesday at the Stewart Conservation Camp, a minimum security facility in Carson City.
The majority of the inmates at the facility work for the Nevada Division of Forestry, the department’s website said. It was unclear if Ruggs was doing that work while in custody at the dormitory-style facility.
