Former NFL Player Henry Ruggs III Publicly Apologizes for Fatal Crash

Henry Ruggs III has resurfaced in the headlines following a devastating car accident that resulted in a woman's death. Recently, during a Hope for Prisoners event, Ruggs extended an apology to the family of the victim he tragically killed, demonstrating a significant step towards accountability. In a video shared by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Ruggs expressed his heartfelt sentiments: “One, I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I would love for them to meet the real Henry Ruggs and not the one that was escaping from something." He further acknowledged the pain his presence in the media causes for Tintor’s family, admitting the reminder of the incident that constantly resurfaces. A former first-round draft pick, Ruggs pleaded guilty in May 2023 to felony DUI causing death and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, resulting in a 3- to 10-year prison sentence in August 2023. Acknowledging such a grave mistake publicly is no small feat, yet Ruggs is taking steps toward redemption.
