The top law enforcement official in South Dakota told officials that he believed he hit a deer on a rural stretch of road on Saturday night. It wasn't until the following day that it became clear Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg had fatally struck a man, and state authorities are investigating.
The attorney general said in the statement that he was driving home at about 9:15 p.m. Saturday from the Spink County Lincoln Day Dinner, a Republican fundraising event, in the small town of Redfield.
"I didn't see what I hit and stopped my vehicle immediately to investigate," Ravnsborg said, according to the paper. He added that he thought it was "a large animal (likely a deer)."
WTF? I've hit a deer and it was unmistakable. You cannot mistake a human body for a deer.. Something here isn't kosher.According to the letter posted to the Argus Leader, Ravnsborg used the sheriff's personal vehicle to drive home on Saturday. On Sunday morning, as he was driving to return the vehicle with his chief of staff, Ravnsborg noticed that "the debris field from my accident was still on the road." He said the pair got out of the car and searched for what they thought was a deer, according to the letter.
"As I walked along the shoulder of the road I discovered the body of Mr. Boever in the grass just off the roadway," the letter said. "My chief of staff and I checked and it was apparent that Mr. Boever was deceased."

Is Jason Ravnsborg known to drink heavily in his off-hours? Because I am just going to engage in some idle speculation and say that he was probably drunk. I imagine he ran home to pull a Teddy-Kennedy-at-Chappaquiddick to sleep the alcohol out of his system. Perhaps he figured it would be better to do this than face a drunken vehicular homicide charge.

I think the SD AG is a Republican, they don’t “drink heavily?”
What’s the emoji limit?

I read the story, and he did not drive his car home. He called a deputy and borrowed the deputy's car to return home. So either A, he drove on after the collision or more likely B, the depputy is complicit in the coverup. The body was found just off the shoulder in the grass. No way ANY sherriff's deputy, not only fails to notice or even check his sobriety, nor fails with the lights they have available (especially nowadays with LED everything), to notice the body, if it's ANYWHERE in the immediate area.
There's just about no explanation to this that doesn't involve a complicit deputy that loaned him a car....
How don't you stop?
How don't you think "I must make sure that is not a person"?
But if you don't and you don't, why do you go back the next day?
I call bull.
And Bingo was his name-o
He did stop, and called the police.
It says he returned the next day to search in daylight.
I hit a deer in Colorado early morning before sunrise. The only way that this guy could have thought that he'd hit a deer in the slightest was if he was intoxicated. This Attorney General has the advantage of his position and his relationship with law enforcement to give him cover and shield him from the consequences of what likely occurred.
How many people have you hit in order to know there is an obvious difference?I hit a deer in Colorado early morning before sunrise. The only way that this guy could have thought that he'd hit a deer in the slightest was if he was intoxicated.

You're really going to go there? He killed a man left the scene and got his story straight. And if he can't tell the difference between people and animals then his license should be revoked.
People tend to drive into deer in the middle of the road. I doubt that the dead man was in the middle of the road.
Someone stated that he must have been sober because it was only 9:30p. If it wasn't a sad story, that would've been funny.
Would the Sheriff's department cover for their AG?
I bet he was drunk and fled the scene. This is his cover story.S.D.'s Attorney General Fatally Strikes Man With Car, Says He Thought He Hit A Deer : NPR WTF? I've hit a deer and it was unmistakable. You cannot mistake a human body for a deer.. Something here isn't kosher.
You're saying the difference is obvious because you hit a deer but not a person. That makes no sense.You're really going to go there? He killed a man left the scene and got his story straight. And if he can't tell the difference between people and animals then his license should be revoked.

I didnt read the story i went by how it sounded in the op. Regardless everyone deserves the benefit of doubtAgain, from the story, he didn't flee the scene. He called the police, and arranged a wrecker to tow his car. No one at the scene found the body in the darkness. The sheriff loaned the AG his personal car to drive home. He was returning the car with his assistant the next morning, stopped to try to find what he hit in the daylight, found the body, and called the police again. That's not to say it couldn't be a cover-up, but it would have to involve the local sheriff and a lot of other people.
