Henry Ruggs Sentencing 2022: How Far Has Henry Ruggs’ Trial Reached?

Henry James Ruggs III is a former American football wide receiver who played in the National Football League for two seasons.

He played college football at Alabama, where he was a member of the team that won the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship.

The football player was chosen by the Las Vegas Raiders in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. In his second season, Ruggs caused a car accident that killed a 23-year-old woman and her dog.

However, the Raiders let him go the same day. As of April 2022, Ruggs is awaiting trial on charges of DUI, which led to the death of a person, and daredevil driving.

On November 2, a 23-year-old woman and her dog were killed in a car crash in Las Vegas. Henry Ruggs, who is in jail, has been charged. After Ruggs’ bail was set at $150,000 on Nov. 3, he was put into an electronic-monitoring group.

As a condition of his release, the football player had to stay away from alcohol. He also had to take alcohol breath tests four times a day.

How Far Has Henry Ruggs’ Trial Reached?

Ruggs made an appearance at an initial hearing last week while in a wheelchair and wearing a neck brace, at which prosecutors indicated he faced felony charges of DUI resulting in death and reckless driving resulting in death.

By Wednesday, they added two more felony charges, DUI resulting in substantial bodily harm and reckless driving resulting in substantial bodily harm related to injuries they claim were suffered by Ruggs’s girlfriend, who was in the car with him.

A misdemeanor charge of possession of a gun while under the influence also was filed against Ruggs after “a firearm was found inside the vehicle very near where Mr. Ruggs was driving,” Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson told reporters after the hearing.

Asked what the minimum and maximum sentences could be for Ruggs if convicted on the five counts, Wolfson replied:

“The bare minimum would be two years in prison, up to as much as somewhere in the 50 [years] range.

These are non-probational offenses. So the felony DUI charges, if Mr. Ruggs is convicted, he can’t get probation. He must get a prison sentence.”
