On September 12, Ravensburg struck and killed Joseph Bower, 55. He initially told police he hit the deer, but found Bower’s body the morning after he returned to the scene of the collision.
“They’re J’s glasses, so that means his face came through your windshield,” an investigator told Ravensberg during an interview released Tuesday by the state, according to the Post.
“His face was in your windshield, Jason. Think about it,” a detective with the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation told Ravensborg. The newly announced visits were recorded on September 14 and September 30, the newspaper said.
State prosecutors announced three misdemeanor charges against Ravensburg last week, the Post said – adding that if convicted, the state’s top law enforcement officer could face up to 90 days in prison and 1,500 damages.
“The review of the content we are releasing has started today and I encourage others to review it as well,” he wrote.
Officials also released a 911 call made by Ravinsborg last year, in which he told the dispatch, “I hit something” that was in the middle of the road.
The dispatcher asked, “Jason, are you injured?”
To which Ravensberg replied, “I am not, but my car is as sure as hell.”
Republican Ravensburg was elected South Dakota Attorney General in 2018, according to his office fee website.
