Misdemeanor charges announced for South Dakota attorney general for fatally striking man with car. South Dakota's top prosecutor will face misdemeanor charges — but avoided felony counts — for fatally striking a pedestrian in September, officials said Thursday.
Boever, who lived in Highmore, was carrying a light while walking on the side of U.S. Highway 14 when Ravnsborg fatally struck him with his Ford 2011 Taurus on Sep. 12, according to the crash report released in early November.
The misdemeanors carry maximum penalties of 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. While Ravnsborg is charged with being on the phone while driving, prosecutors clarified that his phone usage came well before the fatal crash — and that his two devices were shown to be locked for at least a minute before the 67 mph impact.
"It doesn't surprise me one bit, but it does disappoint me," Boever's cousin Victor Nemec told NBC News. "This state is well known nationwide for being lenient when it comes to elected officials getting in trouble."
The crash report said Ravnsborg was “distracted” when he drove onto a highway shoulder and Boever was not responsible for any “contributing circumstances” in the fatal crash. Earlier in the night, Boever's truck crashed into a ditch off Highway 14, and Nemec drove his cousin home.
