Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III will serve at least three years in prison as part of a plea deal stemming from the 2021 DUI crash that killed a woman and her dog.
Per Caroline Bleakley of 8 News Now, Ruggs entered his guilty plea in a Las Vegas court on Wednesday.
The plea deal included a DUI resulting in death charge that carries a minimum three-year sentence and is not subject to probation. He will be officially sentenced at a date to be determined.
"This outcome accomplished our three most important goals: (1) convict Henry Ruggs of the strictest charge allowed by Nevada law for drunk driving; (2) send Henry Ruggs to prison; and (3) eliminate his ability to appeal his conviction and prison sentence," Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said in a statement (h/t Bleakley).
