Disgraced NFL star Henry Ruggs III was seen partying in Las Vegas hours before his deadly high-speed crash — and then yelling at cops while refusing to take sobriety tests, according to reports.
The wide receiver’s longtime girlfriend, Kiara Kilgo-Washington — who was seriously injured in the crash that killed 23-year-old motorist Tina Tintor — had uploaded footage of Ruggs at TopGolf earlier in the night.
The footage shows her giggling as Ruggs, in a black Adidas tracksuit, struggles to tee off at the resort — with the camera turning to show another pal at their table that was covered in glasses.
The couple — who have a young daughter — were drinking mai tais at the resort, before leaving to go to a friend’s house, the Las Vegas Review-Journal said, citing an impaired driving report prepared by police.
Ruggs, 22, then drove his Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 156 mph on his way home just after 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, prosecutors said — more than 110 mph above the speed limit.
He allegedly slammed into Tintor’s Toyota RAV4 with such force that it burst into flames and spun out for nearly 520 feet, the Review-Journal noted.
Bystanders heard Tintor screaming in the fireball, which made it impossible to save her. Both she and her dog died.
After the crash, Ruggs hung out of the driver’s side of the Corvette, with his feet on the floorboard and “his body laying on the road,” according to the Review-Journal.
He refused to participate in a field sobriety test, and yelled at cops who tried to interview him as he was treated for his injuries in a trauma unit at University Medical Center, the local paper said.
Ruggs told officers to “get him out of here” and repeatedly yelled “No!” when they asked if he remembered what had happened, according to a police report obtained by KLAS.
Ruggs “began mumbling,” according to an officer who described his speech as “not understandable” and his attitude as “unresponsive.”
He then tried to tear the IVs out of his arm and “began to yell, ‘Get me the **** out of here,’” the report said, according to KLAS.
“Ruggs continued to yell from his bed and refused to listen to hospital staff and yelled they were not doing anything for him.”
A judge later approved a warrant for a blood draw, which showed Ruggs’ blood-alcohol level was 0.161 — twice the legal limit.
The Raiders released the former first-round NFL draft pick late Tuesday.
Ruggs was still in a neck brace as he was pushed in a wheelchair into his first court appearance Wednesday on pending felony charges of driving under the influence of alcohol resulting in death and reckless driving.
There, he faced Tintor’s relatives for the first time.
“The family’s torn apart, as anybody would be,” Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson told the Review-Journal after the hearing.
“This was a terrible, terrible collision, so they’re mourning their loss. They’re grieving. They’re mad.”
