Fox News
New upgraded charges were approved Thursday for the 42-year-old son of Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., including an upgraded homicide count following a crash that killed a North Dakota sheriff’s deputy.
The homicide charge indicates that the death was caused negligently rather than recklessly, and brings higher maximum penalties than manslaughter. Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
Ian Cramer could face up to 20 years in prison and a possible $20,000 fine. He is charged with nine offenses, including four felonies. She is a native of Massachusetts and is based in Orlando, Florida.
Along with the homicide charge, Ian Cramer faces counts of fleeing a police officer, preventing arrest and reckless endangerment. Story tips and ideas can be sent to sarah.rumpf@fox.com and on X: @s_rumpfwhitten.
