Henry Ruggs charged with DUI resulting in death

The gun part is usually towards the end of articles about this incident

 

I will believe it when I see it. Celebrities live life at a different standard than us regular people. Again, Donte Stallworth was convicted of intoxicated manslaughter and served like 30 days in jail.

He should go to prison for a long time but I won’t hold my breath.

 

Apparently this is the same judge who sent OJ to the can. So there is hope.

 

Yeah I probably stopped reading before seeing it. But I would bet that charge gets dropped anyway. Again, not totally familiar with Nevada’s laws but I think that’s only a misdemeanor.

 

The district attorney said he also might file a weapon charge against Ruggs related to possessing a gun while under the influence of alcohol.

I heard he didn't even legally own the gun. True?

 

like 20 years ago a lamb LB from Tennessee named Little killed someone in similar ( best I can remember) circumstances. He missed 8 games for killing someone - shameful to be honest

Manslaughter conviction
After leaving a birthday party in 1998, Little crashed into and killed Susan Gutweiler in St. Louis, Missouri who was on her way to pick up her son from a concert. When tested, his blood alcohol content was 0.19 percent, 0.11 points exceeding the legal limit of 0.08 in the state of Missouri. Little received four years probation and was ordered to undergo a thousand hours of community service.[22]

On January 18, 2003, with charges dating back to 1999, Little was charged with communicating threats and making harassing calls, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police department. Little's attorney, Scott Rosenblum, said that the charges were filed after Little and his former girlfriend Michelle ended their relationship. Rosenblum added, "We don't think this case is going anywhere. It was groundless from the beginning".[23]

On April 24, 2004, he was arrested again for driving while intoxicated after being stopped by The Ladue Police Department for driving 78 miles per hour in a 55 mile-per-hour zone on Interstate 64. At the time, he had red eyes, smelled of alcohol, and failed three roadside sobriety tests. He later admitted that he drank alcohol to the police.[24] After being convicted of misdemeanor speeding but acquitted of DWI, Little received two years of probation on May 6, 2005, and was prohibited from drinking any sort of alcoholic beverage during his time of probation.[25]

 

True, but they had video of what happened. A plea seemed super unnecessary. But I guess that’s part of why celebrities are held to a different standard.
