On November 2, 2021, a catastrophic and entirely preventable car crash occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada, resulting in the deaths of Tina Tintor, a beloved member of our community, and her dog Max. The individual responsible for this tragedy was Henry Ruggs III, a former NFL player, who was found to be driving under the influence at speeds exceeding 156 miles per hour.

This horrific event is not merely an accident but a gross disregard for human life. Ruggs chose to get behind the wheel while intoxicated and to drive at an alarmingly dangerous speed, actions that directly led to the loss of two innocent lives. Such recklessness has had an immeasurable impact on Tina's family and the broader Las Vegas community. It is crucial that justice is served and that the consequences of these actions reflect the gravity of the offense.

As Henry Ruggs III comes up for parole, we urge the Nevada Parole Board to consider the severity and nature of his actions. Granting parole in this case would send a message that such negligent behavior is excusable, undermining the legal principle that individuals must be held accountable for their actions. It could also cause additional pain to the victims’ families, who have already endured immense suffering.

Denying parole sends a clear message that our community will not tolerate such violence and irresponsibility. It upholds the principles of justice and ensures that the memory of Tina Tintor and her beloved dog, Max, are honored.

Nevada Animal Advocates respectfully asks you to join us in urging the Nevada Parole Board to deny parole for Henry Ruggs III. We are demanding accountability and justice for Tina Tintor and her family. Let your voice be heard, and help prevent similar tragedies in the future. Your support is vital in ensuring that our community remains committed to upholding justice and safety for everyone. We need to act decisively to prevent this from happening to any more families. Please sign and share this petition today.

We are asking for support the family of Tina Tintor because an animal was killed due to the reckless behavior of this convicted criminal.
