"Senator's Son Upgraded to Homicide Charge in Crash that Killed North Dakota Sheriff's Deputy"

Ian Cramer, the son of U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer, is facing upgraded charges, including homicide, in a crash that killed a North Dakota sheriff's deputy. The new charges allege that the death was caused negligently rather than recklessly, carrying higher penalties. Cramer also faces drug charges for possession of methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. He is charged with a total of nine offenses, including four felonies. Cramer's attorney has not commented on the case. Authorities found drugs in the vehicle, and Cramer's mother had driven him around on the day of the crash. The senator has stated that his son suffers from serious mental disorders.
