Ruggs’ accident resulted in the death of Tina O. Tintor after her car burst into flames, leaving her trapped inside. After news broke of Ruggs’ accident, the Las Vegas Raiders acted quickly, releasing the young receiver.
What Ruggs did was terrible, and he certainly deserves punishment for it. Ruggs will be put on trial, and there will be further investigation as to what exactly happened on that fateful night, but for now things are terrible, and the best thing to do is to offer suport to the family of Tina.

“OK. OK, here,” the woman tells Ruggs. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
Ruggs responds, “F***!!! Stop yelling!!!”
The entire situation is tragic, and there’s no telling how or when things will be resolved, if they even will be. As of right now, polic documents have said that Ruggs was driving at a speed of 156 mph just 2.5 seconds before impact. His blood alcohol level was at 0.16, twice the legal limit, and he was also carrying a firearm in his car.
Ruggs was put in the detention center, but he was released at a bail of $150,000. There’s a long way to go before this issue is resolved, but for now, the entire situation is extremely tragic.
