Unfortunately the "misleading" part appears to be the "potentially"

Ruggs is known to own the green Vette observed at the scene and it's being confirmed he will be charged with DUI

 

 

 

I was going to mention the possibility but didnt want to be flamed here for jumping to conclusions.

 

He get the best lawyer in Las Vegas.

If he stayed on scene - how 'bout trying to get the other drive OUT??  Boy o boy, this is gonna get really rough for this kid - no matter how it turns out.  Let alone the friends and family of the driver who died.  Just awful!

I mean we have no idea what the scene was like or what condition Ruggs was in.

[BillsFanForever19]

Looking at the cars, it's a legit miracle he survived. Terrible he allegedly took a life under the influence. If they can prove it, his career is over.

that's manslaughter

It amazes me that these athletes risk it all and not just call an Uber.

 

This.  Call an Uber, Phone a Friend...hell, dial a random number - What Bills fan in Buffalo wouldn't wake up their SO and throw on their Zubaz and hoodies to go pick up Diggs and his car and take both to a safe place?  Would give one a Helluva good story.

Absolutely.  Pure speculation on my part.  Looks like a VERY bad scene from that video.

Ruggs' attorney, David Chesnoff, tells TMZ Sports, "On behalf of our client Henry Ruggs III we are conducting our own investigation as of this writing and ask everyone to reserve judgment until all the facts are gathered.

 

His attorney?  hmm....  You would think his publicist/agent would be out front first...  unless he was recreating or being cited for reckless driving..

[YoloinOhio]

How awful! 😨

No info on Nevada law, but to me, speaking morally, you drink and get behind the wheel drunk and it's murder.

If convicted, it's a 2-20 year prison sentence.

Yep very unlikely he'd be back, players have come back from DUIs before which too me is only different from this in that they got lucky.

Not so fast. Its vegas, good attorneys, would not be surprised if he finds a way out of this. Would not be the first. We have seen murderers and rapists barely miss time. 

very good point.

[Gambit]

How ***** sad. I hope he gets thrown in jail for awhile.

DUI resulting in serious injury/death.  Class B felony.  

 

Used to be covered under a murder statute.  Was changed recently.

[aristocrat]

He's gonna be doing some time for this. At least 5 years I'd say.

We'll see.  I would say the same about Britt Reid but wouldn't be shocked if he got wristslapped.

 

Ruggs said to be in hospital with broken hip:

Dante Stallworth anyone?

[727Bills]

Anyone else amazed that he walked away and the other person died....from the pics of the vehicles it looks like it should be the other way around.

 

Thoughts go out to the person who died 

[Bubba Gump]

Vehicular manslaughter. He is done. 

 

Bad wknd for me fantasy wise. I had Derrick Henry, James Robinson and Henry Ruggs on my team. Oye

DUI?? When will this be considered murder?  

 

Lock him up for the rest of his life, no parole. 
 

 

That's extreme. He made one mistake and you want to lock him up for the rest of his life?
