Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs has been denied parole by the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners, which means he will stay in prison for at least another year. Ruggs pled guilty to DUI resulting in death and vehicular manslaughter charges after a fatal crash in November 2021 that killed Tina Tintor and her dog. He was sentenced to three to ten years in prison, and is next eligible for parole in 2027. Ruggs, 27, has expressed intentions to return to the NFL after his release, though the likelihood of that diminishes with each year in prison.
