(CNN) An attorney for South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg on Thursday entered no-contest pleas on his behalf to two misdemeanors in connection with a crash last year that left a 55-year-old pedestrian dead. Last September, on the night of the crash, Ravnsborg told a 911 dispatcher, "I hit something" that was in the middle of the road. He initially told police he had hit a deer but discovered Joseph Boever's body the following morning after returning to the scene of the crash. Investigators said they found Boever's broken glasses in Ravnsborg's car and that the victim's face had come through the attorney general's windshield. Ravnsborg was ordered to pay a $500 fine for each of two misdemeanors -- one count of operating a motor vehicle while using a mobile electronic device and one count of lane driving.
