The 42-year-old son of U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer is charged with manslaughter and fleeing an officer after a police pursuit ended in a crash that killed a North Dakota sheriff’s deputy.
Ian Cramer is scheduled to make his initial court appearance later today (Friday). He was charged Thursday with multiple counts. His father said in a statement earlier Thursday that his son was having a mental health issue when he fled a hospital in the family’s vehicle.
Mercer County Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Martin was killed in the crash. He was among officers trying to stop Ian Cramer and had taken cover behind his patrol car after putting a tire deflation device in the road when Cramer crashed into Martin’s squad car.
