A Clark County judge told Ruggs it was one of the more tragic cases she’s seen in her career.
Tinta Tintor was killed in the crash. Ruggs issued an apology to her family in the courtroom.
"I sincerely apologize," Ruggs said, via FOX 5 Vegas. "I have no excuse."

Ruggs added that his behavior was "not a true reflection" of who he is.
Ruggs, who was the Raiders’ first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, was driving 156 mph in his Corvette, police say, when he crashed into Tintor’s Toyota RAV4. Her gas tank ruptured due to the crash, and it resulted in her death as well as the death of her golden retriever, Max.
When taken to the hospital for his own injuries, Ruggs’ blood-alcohol content measured at 0.161, which is twice the legal limit in Nevada.
