The adult son of North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer has been sentenced to 28 years in prison for the fatal killing of a sheriff's deputy during a high-speed police chase. The incident occurred in 2023 when the 43-year-old man, who had escaped from a hospital, stole his mother's car and led law enforcement on a chase that reached speeds of 100 mph. During the pursuit, he crashed into the deputy's vehicle, resulting in the deputy's death. The son expressed remorse, stating, 'I had no intention to do any of this,' and blamed his actions on meth and bath salts. The sentencing took place on December 30, 2024.
