The South Dakota Republican Party’s executive director has paid the fine for a ticket he was issued by the Milwaukee Police Department on a charge of disorderly conduct, avoiding any further legal proceedings on the matter.

Reggie Rhoden — son of Lt. Gov. Larry Rhoden — paid the $195 ticket for disorderly conduct to the Milwaukee City Municipal Court, meaning that the man in charge of the party’s day-to-day operations will not have to make a Nov. 4 court appearance in Wisconsin’s largest city.

Rhoden was issued a citation Sept. 3 for an incident that allegedly occurred at the Republican National Convention on July 15.
