BISMARCK, N.D.—New charges approved Thursday against the 42-year-old son of Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) included an upgraded homicide count in a crash that killed a North Dakota sheriff’s deputy.
Ian Cramer initially faced a manslaughter charge related to the Dec. 6 death of Mercer County Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Martin on a highway near Hazen. A judge on Thursday approved new charges that amend that offense to homicide while fleeing a peace officer, and add drug charges.
