STANTON, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota judge has sentenced the adult son of U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer to serve 28 years in prison in connection with a wild chase in which he fled from a hospital and drove into a deputy’s vehicle, killing the deputy. A judge sentenced 43-year-old Ian Cramer on Monday. Fifty-three-year-old Mercer County Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Martin died last December after Cramer crashed into his patrol vehicle during a chase. Officers were pursuing him after Cramer earlier fled a Bismarck hospital where his mother had taken him for mental health concerns. Cramer apologized to Martin’s family Monday and said he will get more treatment.
