“Mr. Ruggs has accepted responsibility for his actions, entered a guilty plea, and now been sentenced by the court. In court today Mr. Ruggs expressed his sincere sadness for the loss of Ms. Tintor and the impact that it has had on her loved ones,” Ruggs attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld said in a statement obtained by USA TODAY Sports. “He is prepared to serve his prison sentence, and when released, he will return to making positive contributions to his community.”

“I sincerely apologize for my actions the morning of Nov. 2, 2021,” Ruggs read in a statement in court prior to sentencing, per 8 News Now. “My actions are not a true reflection of me.”
