South Dakota AG got speeding ticket days before crash trial

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota’s attorney general was ticketed for going 57 in a 35 mph zone just days before he faced trial on traffic charges in a fatal car crash last year. Jason Ravnsborg received a ticket late Sunday (Aug. 29, 2021) in Hughes County, where he lives. He was charged with a second-degree misdemeanor and fined $177.50. He hasn’t paid the fine or admitted guilt. Dakota News Now first reported the ticket. On Thursday (Aug. 26, 2021), the Republican attorney general pleaded no contest to a pair of 2nd-degree misdemeanors for a crash last year that killed a man walking on a rural highway.
