Former Raiders WR Henry Ruggs denied parole nearly 5 years after deadly car crash

LAS VEGAS - The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners released its decision to deny parole for former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs Thursday.

Ruggs, 27, was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison in 2023 for killing 23-year-old Tina Tintor. He pleaded guilty to a felony charge of DUI resulting in death and a count of vehicular manslaughter.

He appeared before the parole board in May and said he took full responsibility for the fact that his actions led to the death of Tintor and her dog Max.

"Not a minute goes by where I don't think of the pain I caused her family, her friends and the Las Vegas community," he said.

At the time of the crash, Ruggs was speeding down Rainbow Boulevard in his Corvette Stingray when he slammed the back of Tintor's SUV so violently that it caught fire. Tintor's dog was also killed.

Ruggs was driving up to 156 mph seconds before the crash, and authorities said his blood alcohol level was 0.16%, twice the legal limit.

Nevada Department of Corrections records show that he is currently incarcerated at the Northern Nevada Correctional Center.
