According to the criminal complaint, at about 6:40 pm on 26 February 2021, St. Paul police responded to 111 East Kellogg Blvd. of a report of a carjacking.

When police arrived, they reported that the victim appeared frightened. He identified Erbob in the passenger seat as the one who hit him and tried to steal his car. Police said Erbob smelled of alcohol.

The victim told officers that he went to that address to pick up his friend. Erbob forced his way into his vehicle and demanded a ride. When he refused, Erbob began to punch him in the face and tried to push him out of the vehicle, according to the complaint.

“I just want to say at the time of the offense, I was under the influence and not aware,” Erbob told the judge. “I’m not a citizen. I do not want to get deported. I have no family back home. I’ve been here since I was about 2 years old.”

Erbob has a lengthy criminal record, which includes convictions for robbery, giving police a false name, thefts, trespassing and in 2013, a conviction for first-degree aggravated robbery for which he was sentenced to 57 months in prison.
