The Las Vegas Raiders have released Henry Ruggs III just a few hours after the wide receiver was involved in a car crash that resulted in the death of a 23-year-old woman.
The crash left Ruggs injured, and after his release from hospital — he was treated for non-life threatening injuries — he was jailed by the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. The 22-year-old was charged with DUI resulting in death.
If convicted, he will have to serve a mandatory prison term in Nevada that could range from anywhere between two and 20 years in jail.
