Henry Ruggs says he was ‘escaping from something’ in apology to family of woman he killed while driving 156 mph
NY Post
Former Las Vegas Raiders receiver Henry Ruggs is seeking forgiveness 21 months into his prison sentence after killing a woman while driving 156 mph in November 2021.
Ruggs, who was sentenced to three-to-10 years in prison in August 2023, was driving under the influence at two times the legal limit when he killed Tina Tintor and her dog in a fiery crash.
“One, I wish I could turn back the hands of time,” Ruggs said on special release while attending a Hope for Prisoners event, posted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “I would love for them to meet the real Henry Ruggs and not the one who was escaping from something.
“I sincerely apologize for not only being a part of that situation, but the fact my face is always in the news, it’s always in the newspaper. So they have to constantly be reminded of the situation, be reminded of me. I would just tell them that I deeply apologize for all of that.”
Ruggs pleaded guilty in May 2023 to felony DUI causing death, as well as misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, and was sentenced that August.
