SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota’s attorney general was ticketed for going 57 in a 35 mph zone just days just days before he pleaded no contest to traffic charges for a car crash that killed a pedestrian last year. Jason Ravnsborg, the state’s top law enforcement officer, received a ticket late Sunday, Aug. 22 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.
