A South Dakota state lawmaker has filed articles of impeachment with bipartisan support against the South Dakota attorney general, who was charged with three misdemeanors this month after fatally striking a pedestrian on the highway with his car last fall.

Rep. Will Mortensen, a freshman Republican, submitted the two articles of impeachment to the Legislative Research Council against the Republican Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg on Tuesday, according to the Argus Leader. The charges will likely be announced on the floor Wednesday.
