Ruggs twice legal limit. Going 156 MPH

Henry Ruggs III was out to kill someone on Tuesday morning in Las Vegas.

Drunk at more than twice the legal limit and hauling his Corvette down a residential street at 156 miles per hour with his girlfriend by his side, according to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, he was a loaded weapon looking for a victim or victims.

He found one, a 23-year-old woman in a Toyota RAV4 who was driving down Rainbow Boulevard, located about 5 miles west of the famed Strip, at 3:39 a.m.

As Ruggs’ approached the woman’s vehicle on the three-lane road, he veered right behind her before slamming into her car, police said. The RAV4 immediately burst into flames. The fire department found her inside the vehicle and declared her dead at the scene. The remains of a dog were also found in the car.

Wednesday morning prosecutors detailed new evidence against Ruggs, who was in his second year with the Las Vegas Raiders and a former star wideout at the University of Alabama. Ruggs was charged on Tuesday with DUI resulting in death and reckless driving.

The first charge carries a penalty of 2-20 years. The reckless driving is up to six additional. The Raiders released their 2020 first-round draft pick hours later.

In a preliminary court hearing, Chief Deputy District Attorney Eric Bauman painted a picture of a reckless 22-year-old, drunk amid a series of terrible decisions that resulted in grave consequences. Bauman said crash scene evidence and speed determining algorithms indicate that Ruggs was traveling 156 miles an hour about 2.5 seconds before impact. His car was at 127 mph when its airbags deployed.

“I cannot recall a speed that high in my career on the bench,” Judge Joe Bonaventure remarked, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

It is an almost unfathomable speed on a city street in a tightly packed suburban area of Las Vegas.

Worse, police say Ruggs’ blood-alcohol level came in at .161, twice Nevada’s 0.08 legal limit. Officers said Ruggs appeared impaired at the scene but he had refused a field sobriety test. Video posted on Ruggs' Snapchat from earlier in the night reportedly showed him at a local TopGolf facility. A loaded gun was also found on the floor of Ruggs’ car.

Wow.

What a way to throw away your life... dumbass.

Uh, more like snuffing out someone else's life.

That too.

He was on his way to very lucrative career.
He had a friend killed by a drunk driver.
So you would think he'd be more cognizant of driving while intoxicated.

Now, he's likely going to spend a few years in prison
His NFL career is essentially over.
NOBODY will hire him for endorsements.

Threw it all away to drive really fast after drinking.

What kills me is how when there is a fatality in a drunk driving crash it is almost never the drunk ass that dies.

Going 156 mph. and he survives.

It's really odd that your primary focus seems to be on him. It reminds me of going to traffic school for a ticket and the instructor going on and on about the financial and legal consequences of a DUI. When I reminded her that people can die or be badly maimed, she said, "Oh, of course. Horrible. And in that case your legal costs and consequences will go way up."

WTF????

Recited an incantation that will undo the damage he's done?

She's gone. That is tragic. She can't be brought back.

But If one person learns not to drive drunk., Knowing how much can be lost, Including the lives of others, then what I've said had its purpose.

The decision to not drink and drive needs to be made before the first drink. We think we’re going out for two drinks and it often turns into 12. Once the first two drinks are in us we are no longer in the proper state to expect good decisions. Give me enough vodka and I’d have raced him that night and thought nothing of it at the moment.

"...and it often turns into 12." That's about .25 BAC depending on weight, duration, etc.

0.25 BAC: All mental, physical and sensory functions are severely impaired. Increased risk of asphyxiation from choking on vomit and of seriously injuring yourself by falls or other accidents.

Anyone see the so-called Zac Stacy video of him throwing his GF around? Holy shit. He claims she staged it, I don't know one way or another but someone was hitting and tossing her around.
