His announcement was premature. Ravnsborg's promotion is still on hold as Army Reserve officials
His announcement was premature. Ravnsborg's promotion is still on hold as Army Reserve officials study his criminal caseNot yet. Maybe not at all.
South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg’s promotion to colonel in the Army Reserve, which he announced in the spring (prematurely, as it turned out, as seen in the above image from siouxlandnews.com), remains on hold.
Lt. Col. Simon B. Flake, chief of media relations and public information for the U.S. Army Reserve Command Public Affairs, said Ravnsborg has not been promoted. He holds the rank of lieutenant colonel and has been in the Reserve for a quarter century.
“U.S. Army Reserve leadership is continuing to follow applicable Army regulations and policies concerning this situation,” Lt. Col. Flake said. “In this case, relevant Army leaders will review the findings from the civilian proceedings and make further decisions at the appropriate time.”
The attorney general has been in the spotlight in the state and nation since he ran over and killed Joe Boever, 55, on Sept. 12, 2020, on the east edge of Highmore in central South Dakota.
