Summary
Former NFL star Henry Ruggs remains locked up after being denied parole nearly five years after his deadly drunk driving crash that killed Tina Tintor and her dog Max — a tragedy he now says haunts him daily. Despite showing remorse, participating in DUI prevention programs, and pleading guilty to felony DUI causing death, the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners refused early release, citing his ongoing responsibility and grief. Ruggs, who was sentenced to 3-10 years in prison, will be eligible for another parole review three months before his mandatory release date in August 2027. The victim’s family has not publicly responded to the decision. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
