Henry Ruggs III is Going
To Prison?CAR CRASH
The story of Henry rugs III Car Crash is a very tragic one one that really hurts me to my soul each and every NFL draft has some sort of generalization about the draft class for example the 2021 .
 |
| Henry Ruggs III |
in the 2020 NFL draft leading up to this draft we
were getting a lot of reports suggesting that this was going to
be one of the deepest wide receiver classes that
we've seen in recent memory in this wide receiver draft class we had
players like Gary Judy CD lamb Chi Higgins Michael
Pittman Jr and of course Jalen rager I'm kidding of course
Justin Jefferson who selected one pick after Jalen
rager this draft was supposed to.
be a very significant one for the Las Vegas
Raiders after bringing in Jon Gruden who would bring in Mike
Mayock as his general manager Las Vegas Raiders were in
the midst of a rebuild in.
The year
before they had a draft that definitely raised some eyebrows selecting
Cleland Farrell with the fourth overall pick over players
like Josh Allen no not that Josh Allen or or Ed Oliver
for instance so they really needed a big 2020 NFL draft
especially.
considering the fact that this was going to be the
year that they were going to get their pick from Trading
Khalil Mack which was already a very heavily scrutinized
trade at the time luckily for the Raiders they had two
picks in phenomenal position the first one was.
the number 12 overall pick and the second
one was the 19th overall pick and with the 12th overall pick they
took a player that wasn't expected to be the first
wide receiver off of the board but had a tremendous amount of talent nonetheless
it was a prototypical Al Davis or Mark Davis type of pick
a player that had tremendous speed that could
open up the offense if this pick panned out correctly for them
that was.
Henry rugs and seven picks later they would
take a project cornerback that was considered to be a bit of a reach
and that's Damon Arnett from Ohio State unlike
Damon Arnett Henry rugs actually had a fairly promising start to
his career in the 2020 season his rookie year he
star started in 12 games in those 12 games he had 26
receptions two touchdowns and 452 passing yards so clearly
not necessarily showing that he was worth being that top pick but
there were definitely some potential and he also
returned kicks as well while in 2021 the Raiders decided that if
we're going to select someone with the 12th overall
pick clearly he's going to be somewhat of a franchise
Cornerstone
in 2021 Henry rugs started out the season
remarkably during the first seven games of that
season he was already able to match his totals from the year
prior with 469 receiving yards 24 receptions and two
touchdowns he was on Pace for a 1 000 yard receiving season in
year two until tragedy struck what could have been a breakout
season for Henry rug that would result in a contract extension
that would have guaranteed him anywhere from the number of 60
million to a hundred million dollars over a span of four
to five years ended in tragedy and the tragedy is bad baffling considering
Henry rugs's history for those of you that don't know
Henry rugs's best friend from childhood a man by.
the name of
Roderick Scott had perished in a car accident on the way to a
basketball game in Birmingham during rugs's junior year of high school
Henry rugs was supposed to be in that car and he was
shaken when he found out that his life was spared in response Henry
rugs dedicated his whole career to Roderick Scott
even announced his commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide in an
emotional video filmed near his late friend's grave so
he could imagine how insane it was to hear that Henry rugs made
a decision that is very relevant to the way his
friend lost his life and also aided in the loss of another life
of another young woman who went way too soon on
November 2nd 2021 Henry rugs decided to visit Topgolf in Las Vegas a place
where you just drink with some buddies and hit golf balls as
hard as
you can sounds like a good time having a couple
Brews with some friends blowing off some steam and Hope hopefully getting
an Uber home but that's not what Henry rugs did after drinking to
the point where he was more than twice the legal
limit of blood alcohol concentration Henry rugs decided to get into a
vehicle notorious for its speed and its lack of handling got into
his Corvette and at a particular point was driving
156 miles per hour if you want to understand how fast 156 miles
per hour is well check out this video do 8 news now
obtained from the viscaya apartments near the scene of the
crash.
this is what driving at 156 miles per hour
looks like you can see just how fast Henry rugs was going based
on the speed of the other cars around him that's
how fast Henry rugs was going and the ending of this whole situation
was horrible I mean let's put aside the fact that
Henry ruggs screwed himself out of generational wealth by this one
horrible avoidable decision let's put that aside because
that doesn't matter a young woman by the name of Tina Tinder
23 years old and her dog got rear-ended by Henry
rugs Henry rugs drove 156 miles per per hour into This Woman's
car and
the Collision was so impactful that not only did
the car catch on fire immediately but Tina
tinter couldn't get out the way she went is one of the most gruesome
ways anyone can go the coroner's office determined that Tina tinter
died of thermal injuries after she was trapped inside her car
that caught fire immediately on impact the woman
lost her life because she burned alive with her dog and it wasn't
an instant passing by the way it took some time
before her body finally said enough is enough and her life was
officially lost but that wasn't it the coroner's office
also determined that other significant conditions contributing
to her death were inhalation of products of combustion
fractures of the nasal bones right sided ribs left forearm and
chest.
I've said this many times man there are times in
life where you have the privilege and the opportunity to learn from your
mistakes and then there are times in life where your mistake
is so great so horrible so so terrible that you
significantly damage your life other people's lives and you might not
even have the opportunity to learn from your mistake a
common example I like giving is the woman that was drinking
and driving in the Jalen Carter incident she lost her
life completely she never got.
the opportunity to learn from her mistake
and in the case of Henry rugs it seems like he might have the
opportunity but it's gonna cost him significantly and it
should cost him a little bit more
than this Henry rugs would get charged with four
felonies including DUI resulting in death reckless driving resulting
in loss of life DUI resulting.
in substantial bodily harm and reckless driving
resulting in substantial bodily harm he was also charged with misdemeanor
possession of a weapon under.
the influence of alcohol what blows my mind in
this situation is Henry rugs his girlfriend Kiara Janae kilgo
Washington a 22 year old woman was with him in the car and
was also injured in the crash and Henry Russell post a 150 000
bail one of the most avoidable tragedies in recent
NFL history but have been avoided completely with either an Uber or
look at what Derek Carr says you could have just
called Derek Carr look did I not let him know that he really could
I'd be there for him at 3am you know that you know I
I'm I want to be better you know he needs people to love him right
now.
um he's probably telling a certain type of way
about himself right now and he needs to be loved and uh if no
one else will do it I'll do it following this the story
would take some twists and turns and we would bring you updates
here and there as of last year Henry rugs was holding
out hope of an eventual return to football as of March 16 2022
rugs secured permission to leave home confinement
twice per week for three hours at a time to work out at a training
center that caters to pro athletes item notes that it's on
clear
weather rugs hopes to play football again
maybe he does maybe he doesn't maybe he just needs to have
something to do something to break the monotony willing
to give him hope an outlet for the
feeling that he's trapped at home but he uses god-given skills that
will begin to erode in time maybe he thinks he has a
chance to put this behind him as the article explains a hearing
will happen today regarding the argument that the
police lack probable cause to request a warrant for blood to be
drawn from rugs for alcohol testing without that
proof the DUI case goes away we've had several updates since then
that attempt did not pass there was no way that you
would be able to get this to be done blood alcohol concentration
was brought in for this incident and was a significant
part of the case after they tried to make it not a part of
the case.
following this there was some politics surrounding
what judge was going to rule the Henry rugs case and this is
the most recent update we brought for you guys Henry
rugs's legal counsel tried to block Las Vegas justice of peace
and Zimmerman from presiding over the case until
recently Zimmerman had been overseeing all DUI cases in Vegas including
the case against rugs as part of a specialty Corps program but
those cases were transferred earlier to a different
judge appointed to take over.
the specialty Court his lawyers would argue in
their filing that Zimmerman singled out Henry rugs and viled
his right to equal protection when without notifying
the attorney she decided to keep the
former wide receivers case on her calendar while the rest of
the thousands of DUI cases were transferred to a new
judge and then it would say in.
this article that rugs won't stand trial until
late March well there's a reason we're because Henry rugs did
stand trial we have an updateabout his situation it looks like he's going to
jail so according to David chesnov and Richard schoenfeld th attorneys
representing Henry rugs via Fox 5 in Las Vegas their client
is going to issue a guilty plea this is the first step
towards a fair resolution to this matter and we look forward to
closure for all the parties involved for Caitlyn Newberg
of the Las Vegas Review Journal.
Henry rugs intends to plead guilty to DUI
resulting in loss of life and misdemeanour charge of
vehicular manslaughter according to Newberg chasnov
said that the guilty plea is conditioned upon the court
accepting thestipulations of the parties and if the court
does not agree to the stipulate stations rugs will be permitted
to withdraw his guilty plea proceed to trial and
litigate all issues so rugs is due in court on May 10th to
formally enter his plea and the plea agreement carries a
prison sentence of three to ten years so this is significant
it.
looks like the Henry rugs case is about to come
to a conclusion and the conclusion looks like Henry rugs is going to
jail for a bare minimum of three years which I know I'm going to get some
comments saying that's way too little to up to 10 years which
I'm sure I'm still going to get a lot of comments saying
that that's way too little look personally I am not big on trying
to say hey this man isn't being punished enough because
at the end of the day that's not.
my job punishment is punishment in my book and
giving up any amount of yourlife losing time off of your life is very
significant I feel like no matter what a Mount Henry rugs gets in
this position people are going to say it's not
enough but I'm here to just give you.
the facts here I'm not here to say I'm happy
with the amount of time he's getting because that the end of
the day I hate this entire situation I hate what happened
to Tina tinter I hate what happened to Tina tinter's family
one of the worst pains in life that you could have is
lost and there's a lot of it in.
the loss of one's daughter who was
still relatively young who still had her best years ahead of her
the loss of a dog and the loss of a very promising
career which I know is at the very bottom of the totem pole and probably
more significantly for Henry rugs the loss of a lot of time
three to ten years from what was supposed to be the prime
of his life by the time Henry rugs gets out of prison he's
going to be either 27 years old or he's going to be 34 years
old instead of playing in the NFL during this time Henry rugs is
going to be spending time in prison now I am seeing a
lot of memes like this where this white human to the left gets
a 24-year sentence for killing a woman while
street racing whereas Henry rugs is getting a three to ten year
sentence.
from being in a drunk driving accident that
killed a woman I don't know enough about this to really comment on
it I'm not a lawyer I'm just guy that brings you news I'm just
some guy that covers football stuff so in terms of whether or not this
is fair I really can't comment on that all I could say is this
entire situation sucks and I'm just gonna pray for
everyone that's involved because there's no happy ending to this
at all a woman died a promising young man lost his career
and he made a mistake that clearly was very near and dear to
him because he lost his best friend due to a
car accident all I could hope is everyone
could take a lesson from this and just don't drink and drive
it's never worth it it doesn't matter if it's 20 bucks
50 bucks or a hundred bucks to get an Uber home that a
hundred dollars would have saved Henry rugs millions and would
have saved another woman's life
