Pennington County State's Attorney Vargo to help with AG Ravnsborg case (ran over pedestrian)
The Pennington, Minnehaha and Beadle county state’s attorneys will help a local prosecutor evaluate evidence and explore possible charges against Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg after he hit and killed a man with his car near Highmore.
Emily Sovell, deputy Hyde County state’s attorney, will ultimately decide whether or not to press charges, Pennington County State’s Attorney Mark Vargo said Monday.
“She’s asked us to come assist her in the evaluation of the case,” Vargo said. “Just like I would on any case, I’m trying to evaluate the evidence, hold it up in light of these statutes, and see where we’re at."
