CBS: A son of freshman North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer was driving a stolen SUV being pursued by police when it crashed and killed a deputy Wednesday evening, Cramer and authorities say.
Cramer said in a statement Wednesday night that Ian Cramer, 42, “was involved in a police chase which resulted in an accident that killed an officer. Ian suffers from serious mental disorders which manifest in severe paranoia and hallucinations.”
Cramer said his wife, Kris, “was with Ian when he insisted on going to his brother Ike. Ike died in 2018. Kris took Ian to the Sanford Health emergency room in Bismarck. When she got out of our vehicle, Ian jumped into the driver’s seat and fled. Our daughter was able to track the car through Kris’ cell phone and lead officers to him in Mercer County, N.D.”
At that point, according to the North Dakota Highway Patrol, “The Bismarck (N.D.) Police Department received the report of a stolen vehicle from Bismarck. The stolen vehicle was a 2017 Black Chevy Tahoe and was being driven by Ian Cramer of Bismarck.
The Mercer County Sheriff’s Office spotted Cramer and the … Tahoe he was driving in Hazen, the highway patrol said, but when deputies approached him, he fled and a chase began. more
Pray for Cramer.
It’s hard to have a kid who makes terrible decisions.
When they’re adults those choices are theirs and have nothing to do with the parents.
The left and RINOs will try to make his problem.
There is a dark spiritual attack going on.
Didn’t Senator Cramer just recently piss off Chuck Schumer by harshly questioning some General about Ukraine/Border funding? And isn’t Schumer the guy who said that the IC can get you “six ways to Sunday”? And isn’t the IC notorious for using mentally ill people for nefarious purposes?IQTT
And how did Ian’s brother Ike die? Was Ian suicidal when he said he wanted to see his brother Ike? Dig deeper journos. Never mind, this calls for real investigative reporting.
@Thirdtwin: I’m a stickler when it comes to why, how, when, where. Here’s some info on Ike, no wonder his brother wanted to go see him. Make up your own mind, but I’m going with mental illness mixed with drugs and alcohol. You decide”
He did not specify the cause of death but added, “Now Isaac feels no anxiety or urging for alcohol. He feels no pain and will never be depressed again.”
Here’s the whole story on Ike:

I never could quite figure out why police insist on creating high speed chases.
With all the technology today to track down a vehicle why do they think they have to race down the road endangering innocent people. Maybe it’s the ‘holier than thou attitude’
