was driving at 156 mph with a blood-alcohol content twice Nevada's legal limit when his sports car slammed into the rear of a vehicle that burned, killing a 23-year-old woman, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Ruggs' girlfriend, identified by police as Kiara Je'nai Kilgo-Washington, 22, of Las Vegas, was with him in the car and injured in the crash. She underwent surgery Tuesday for a severe arm injury, authorities said. Nevertheless, he rejected prosecutor Eric Bauman's request to set Ruggs' bail at $1 million and instead set the amount at $150,000 with strict conditions including home confinement, electronic monitoring, no alcohol, no driving and the surrender of Ruggs' passport.
Bauman told the judge that air bag computer records showed the Corvette decelerated from 156 mph to 127 mph before it slammed into the Toyota at about 3:40 a.m. Tuesday, rupturing the Toyota's fuel tank and igniting a fireball. Property records show Ruggs owns a $1.1 million home in a neighborhood not far from where the crash occurred.
