Henry Ruggs III will be charged with DUI resulting in death and reckless driving resulting in death or serious bodily harm.
The Raiders announced that night that they had released him after his arrest.
Ruggs was behind the wheels of his vehicle on Tuesday and he was reportedly driving at 156 mph, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. When emergency responders, a 23-year-old woman was found dead in the vehicle he collided with.
If Ruggs is convicted, the first charge has a sentence ranging from two to 20 years while the second charge ranges from one to six years, per The Athletic.
Ruggs and his girlfriend, Kiara Kilgo-Washington, were transported to the University Medical Center for “serious,” injuries. Ruggs may have been under the influence, according to the police department.
Prosecutor Eric Bauman announced yesterday that Ruggs was traveling at 156 mph about two seconds before the deadly crash and that his blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. A loaded gun was also found inside his vehicle.
