South Dakota AG to take plea deal in fatal crash
South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg (R) will avoid a trial and take a plea deal on misdemeanor traffic charges in a crash last year in which he hit and killed a man who was walking along a rural highway, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Ravnsborg, the state’s top law enforcement officer, was
charged with three misdemeanors that each carry sentences of up to 30 days in jail and up to a $500 fine
Beadle County State’s Attorney Michael Moore “there won’t be a trial and there will be a plea entered,” but he declined to discuss further details of the arrangement. Moore said a judge’s order that bars state officials from discussing details of the investigation prevented him from disclosing further details.
Ravnsborg, who was elected to his first term in 2018, initially told authorities that he thought he had struck a deer or another large animal ... Crash investigators said that Ravnsborg was distracted when he veered onto the shoulder of the highway where Boever was walking. In videos released by Gov. Kristi Noem this year, criminal investigators confronted Ravnsborg with gruesome details of the crash, including that Boever’s eyeglasses were found inside Ravnsborg’s vehicle. At one point, they told him: “His face was in your windshield, Jason. Think about that.”
(Thought he hit a deer ?)
The attorney general’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
