What happened to Henry Ruggs?
According to Las Vegas police and county prosecutors, Ruggs rear-ended another vehicle violently on November 2, 2021, killing 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog. Intoxicated driving causing death and dangerous driving are the charges against Ruggs.
Ruggs and his girlfriend Kiara Kilgo-Washington were spotted drinking at a Topgolf facility in Las Vegas many hours before the incident. They departed around midnight in his adorably named “Lizzy,” a substantially customized Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. Soon later, police uncovered digital evidence showing that, at 3:39 a.m., Ruggs tried to panic-stop the Corvette as it neared Tintor’s Toyota RAV4 while traveling at 156 mph (251 km/h), but he lost control and slammed into her at 120 mph (190 km/h). The Clark County Coroner found that Tintor and her dog perished from burns as her car caught fire after the incident.
With non-life-threatening wounds, Ruggs and Kilgo-Washington were sent to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada (UMCSN).
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department checked him into the Clark County Detention Center when he was discharged from the hospital. The following day, Ruggs showed up in court, and Judge Joe M. Bonaventure imposed a $150,000 bond. Ruggs’ preliminary hearing was postponed by the judge on March 10 of 2022 to May 19 due to the need for additional inspections, according to Ruggs’ counsel. He faces 3 to 26 years in jail if found guilty, 2 to 20 years for the deadly DUI accident, 1-6 years for reckless driving that resulted in death, and up to $5,000 in fines for each.
According to police reports, Ruggs declined to complete a field sobriety test. A blood test was performed on him two hours after the collision and revealed that his blood alcohol level was 0.161%, more than twice the Nevada legal limit. Due to the injuries he incurred in the collision, Ruggs’ defense counsel, David Chesnoff, claimed that Ruggs was unable to submit to a field sobriety test. He also asserted that the blood test should not be accepted as evidence since the police lacked probable cause to take a blood sample. Chesnoff’s claims were rejected by Justice of the Peace Ann Zimmerman, who decided that the blood test may be used as evidence in the case.
