The Las Vegas Police have also released the mugshot of the player after he was taken in on charges of DUI along with revealing that his blood alcohol level was .161 two hours after the crash which is two times the allowed limit.
Rugs who was immediately released by the Raiders in the aftermath of the crash is unlikely to step out for a NFL side again owing to the horrendous nature of the crash. He was the Raiders first round of the 2020 NFL Draft and had played for the University of Alabama as a wide receiver.
“On behalf of our client Henry Ruggs III, we are conducting our own investigation as of this writing and ask everyone to reserve judgement until all the facts are gathered,” Ruggs’ attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld said.
