Hughes County Sheriff’s Office Releases Body Cam Video From Ravnsborg Speeding Traffic Stop

PIERRE — Following a request from some unnamed media outlets, the Hughes County Sheriff’s Office has released body cam video from Sunday August 22nd, the night South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg was pulled over for speeding on Garfield Avenue in Pierre…

Ravnsborg produced his insurance and registration for Deputy Dalton Sack, but said he did not have his driver’s license with him at the time he was pulled over. Most of the nine-minute 15-second video shows Sack using a computer in his patrol vehicle and writing the citation before exiting and returning to Ravnsborg’s S-U-V…

Sheriff Patrick Callahan released the unedited video citing section one-dash-27-dash-one-point-five parentheses five of the South Dakota’s open records law stating public interest outweighing nondisclosure of public records. The citation was issued four days before Ravnsborg reached a plea deal on misdemeanor charges connected to a fatal pedestrian crash he was involved in last September in outside Highmore.
