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, the state’s top law enforcement officer, received a ticket late Sunday 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, 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.
A spokesperson with the Attorney General’s office has not responded to a request for comment on the matter.
