Last summer, Ruggs was granted a special release from prison to speak at a "Hope for Prisoners" event at the Billy Walters Center for Second Chances.
WATCH | During the event, Ruggs apologized to the family of 23-year-old Tina Tintor:
"One that I wish I could turn back the hands of time. I would love for them to meet the real Henry Ruggs, and not the one that was escaping from something," Ruggs said. "I sincerely apologize for not only being a part of that situation, but that fact that, not to take a shot at you, but the fact that my face is always in the news. My face is always in the newspaper, so they have to constantly be reminded of the situation."
He is currently serving his 3 to 10-year prison sentence.
Per the Parole Board, Ruggs should find out the ruling sometime by mid-June.
