Sen. Cramer wrote in a statement that his son, “suffers from serious mental disorders which manifest in severe paranoia and hallucinations.”
“Kris was with Ian when he insisted on going to his brother Ike. Ike died in 2018,” said Cramer.
“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, ND.”
Ian was reportedly involved in a police chase that ended with him crashing into a cruiser that struck and killed a police officer.
“We grieve especially for the family of the hero who tried to help Ian, and we pray for our gracious God to show up as He always does in tragedy,” he said.
“We ask the public for prayers for the lost officer’s family and colleagues who serve us every day and are grateful for all they do for us.”
“We also ask God for healing for Ian. We love him and hurt deeply,” said Sen. Cramer.
