Ruggs crashed his sports car while under the influence and driving at speeds of up to 156 miles per hour. The incident occurred in November of 2021 and tragically took the life of a 23-year-old woman. His sentence is for three to ten years.

Authorities found a loaded gun in Ruggs' car after he killed an innocent 23-year-old woman by driving under the influence on Tuesday. Ruggs is reportedly facing up to 46 years in prison after being charged with DUI resulting in death, DUI resulting in substantial bodily harm, reckless driving, and now this firearms charge. There's a decent chance he never plays football again, but it goes without saying that that's not what's important right now.

Ruggs is facing a felony charge for driving under the influence in a collision resulting in the death of a 23-year-old woman, a Category B offense in the state of Nevada with a minimum of two years in state prison and a maximum of 20 years. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police are conducting an ongoing investigation. It's a stunning downfall for a 22-year-old 18 months removed from being the No. 12 overall pick of the draft. Ruggs has a long and winding legal odyssey of him before he can ever even think about playing football again. There is a strong chance this is the end of his NFL career. 

The preliminary investigation indicates that the front of Ruggs' Chevrolet collided with the rear of the departed's Toyota. The 22-year-old reportedly remained on the scene and showed signs of impairment following the collision, eventually being transported to UMC hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries and charged with DUI resulting in death, a Category B felony offense in Nevada with a minimum of two years in state prison and a maximum of 20 years. This is an ongoing investigation that could result in the end of Ruggs' career.
