Senator’s son sentenced to 28 years in death of law enforcement officer during wild car chase Ian Cramer, 43, the son of Senator Kevin Cramer, had been fleeing from a hospital a year ago when he drove head on into deputy Paul Martin.
The son of a North Dakota senator was sentenced to 28 years in prison for the death of a law enforcement officer who was killed during a car chase.
Cramer pleaded guilty in September to all of the charges against him, including homicide while fleeing a peace officer, preventing arrest, reckless endangerment, fleeing an officer and drug- and driving-related offenses.
Cramer, who wore orange and sat quietly next to his public defender in court, apologized to Martin’s family when asked if he would like to speak, The Associated Press reported.
Bismarck police reported that Cramer’s mother had taken him to a hospital shortly before the crash because of mental health concerns.
