The U.S. Army Reserves is blocking a promotion for the South Dakota Attorney General until charges stemming from a fatal hit-and-run he was involved in last fall are cleared.
Just a few months after being charged in relation to the hit-and-run death of a man, South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg is being promoted by the U.S. Army Reserves.
South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg was distracted when he fatally struck a man with his vehicle in September while returning home from an event.
Jason Ravnsborg quickly told the 911 dispatcher he hit “something…that was in the middle of the road” when he called for help on Sept. 12, according to a transcript of the call released recently by officials.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol continues to investigate the death of a South Dakota man who was allegedly hit Saturday night by a car driven by the state’s attorney general.
