South Dakota AG had glasses with a man killed in a car accident after the incident

by

A South Dakota attorney general is said to have the glasses of a man he beat and died in a car accident, according to interviews released Tuesday by the South Dakota Department of Public Safety.

The news of the interview comes after South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg (R) said he did not know he had hit the man until the next day.

The interview shows detectives on the case questioning Ravnsborg about the glasses they found in his car

“It’s Joe’s glasses, so that means his face came through your windshield,” one detective said, according to the interview.

Ravnsborg, however, seemed to hold on to his earlier statement that he believed he had struck a deer that night and did not realize he hit and allegedly killed Joe Boever, 55.

“He knew there was a dead man in that ditch,” Nick Nemec, Boever’s cousin, told The Washington Post in response to the interview. “He knew what he hit and he lied.”

In September, Ravnsborg is accused of having hit Boever while walking along the side of the highway to his car that was in a ditch.

Ravnsborg is said to have searched with the sheriff for a deer that night, but found nothing. Ravnsborg returned to the scene the next day and that is when he is said to have found Boever’s body and reported it to authorities.

Following the release of the interviews, two articles of impeachment were filed against Ravnsborg, who refused to resign when called to resign, according to the Post.

With the investigation closed and charges brought, I think the attorney general should step down. I have reviewed the material we are releasing as of today and I encourage others to review it as well, ”South Dakota Gov.

“This issue has never prevented him from doing the work of the office,” said Mike Deaver, Ravnsborg’s private spokesman. said the leader of Argus.

Ravnsborg is facing three felony charges for driving a vehicle while using a mobile or electronic device, lane violation, and careless driving.
