[Attorney Richard] Schonfeld and I will reflect on it and continue to do whatever we need to do to protect the constitutional rights of Mr. Ruggs and thereby protect the rights of all Nevadans,”<\/strong> Chesnoff told Las Vegas TV station KSNV<\/em> after hearing the latest turn in the case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nOther Driver, Dog Perished<\/h2>\n Ruggs was arrested for a November 2021 fatal crash. He was allegedly traveling at speeds up to 156 mph before his Corvette struck a Toyota Rav4, driven by Tina Tintor, 23, near Rainbow Boulevard in Las Vegas, police said.
