South Dakota State AG Who Ran Over a Man and Drove Away Seeks Second Term
The judge in the criminal case soon ordered the videos removed from a state website, but by then several news agencies had shared them, and copies still exist online.
The impeachment process, launched during the 2021 session, was halted to allow the legal process to run its course. Ravnsborg finally pleaded to a pair of misdemeanors while a third count was dropped.
He paid a pair of $500 fines, plus court costs, and that was that. The attorney general never appeared in court, nor did he surrender his driver’s license. He was arrested for speeding four days before his case was set to go to trial.
Ravnsborg also reached an undisclosed settlement with Jenny Boever, Joe Boever’s estranged widow, who had filed a civil suit.
Now Ravnsborg, who is seeking a second term, is being challenged for the Republican nomination by former Attorney General Marty Jackley, who was defeated by Noem in the 2018 gubernatorial primary. There is no primary for the AG position; the nominee will be selected at the South Dakota Republican State Convention this summer.
