Ruggs is one of only a few prisoners who get to work daytime hours at the mansion where Gov. Joe Lombardo<\/a> (R), a former Clark County sheriff, resides.<\/p>\n

Ruggs was assigned to minimum custody, a corrections spokesperson told Las Vegas TV station KLAS<\/em>. That allows him to work in the community outside of a correctional camp<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruggs was ordered to be incarcerated for at least three years. He was convicted of DUI<\/a> resulting in death and vehicular manslaughter following a deadly 2021 Las Vegas accident in which Tina Tintor and her dog perished.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said the former wide receiver was driving as fast as 156 mph moments before the collision. Ruggs’ blood alcohol level was 0.16% after the collision, which is twice the legal limit in Nevada.<\/p>\n

The location was raided on Wednesday by deputies from the Grenada County Sheriff’s Office. As a result of the court-ordered search, Mohamed Lemin was charged with operating gambling and lotteries.<\/p>\n
