Henry Ruggs III Apologizes To Family Of Woman He Killed During Hope For Prisoners Event

Henry Ruggs III is back to the news. He was involved in a tragic car crash that resulted in the death of a woman.

Well, guess what? At a recent Hope for Prisoners event, Ruggs actually took the time to apologize to the family of the woman he killed.

I mean, that takes guts, right?

Ruggs was asked at the event what he would say to Tintor’s family.

“One, I wish I could turn back the hands of time,” he said in a video taken by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “I would love for them to meet the real Henry Ruggs and not the one that was escaping from something. I sincerely apologize for not only being a part of that situation, but the fact my face is always in the news, it’s always in the newspaper. So they have to constantly be reminded of the situation, be reminded of me.”

Ruggs, a former first-round draft pick, pleaded guilty in May 2023 to felony DUI causing death and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. He was sentenced in August 2023 to a 3- to 10-year prison sentence.

It’s not easy to own up to something like that, especially in front of a crowd of people. But hey, at least he’s trying to make things right. We’ll have to wait and see what happens next, but for now, props to Ruggs for facing the music.
