A terrible story has emerged this afternoon regarding Las Vegas Raiders WR Henry Ruggs III.
He was involved in a DUI crash this morning in Las Vegas that resulted in the death of at least one person, and he will be charged with DUI resulting in death.
“We are devastated by the loss of life and our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim’s family,” the Raiders said late Tuesday morning in a statement. “We are in the process of gathering information and will have no further comment at this time.”
Ruggs III has since hired high-profile attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, who released the following statement:
“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.”
So far this season, Ruggs III has 24 catches for 469 yards and two touchdowns.
