Ex-NFL player Henry Ruggs pleads guilty to DUI in fatal crash

Henry Ruggs, former Las Vegas Raiders player, pleaded guilty to felony DUI causing death in a crash that killed a woman and her dog. He faces 3 to 10 years in state prison and won't be able to appeal his conviction and sentence. The plea deal accomplished the prosecutor's three most important goals, according to Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson. Ruggs was driving his sports car drunk at speeds up to 156 mph on a city street before causing the fiery crash.

Former Las Vegas Raiders player Henry Ruggs has pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and causing a fatal crash that killed a woman and her dog. Ruggs was driving his sports car at speeds of up to 156 mph on a city street when he caused the fiery collision.

He is expected to be sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison on August 9 under the terms of his plea deal with prosecutors. The minimum three-year sentence cannot be reduced by converting the year-and-a-half he has spent on house arrest to time already served.
