HENNEPIN COUNTY, Minn. — A man has been sentenced for violently stealing a car from a woman and her son last summer in Minnetonka as they brought groceries into their home.
Romell Roshode Lewis was sentenced to about five years in prison after being convicted of first-degree aggravated robbery.
Court documents say a woman and her 13-year-old son parked in their garage and were bringing groceries into their home when Lewis drove up to their house with several other men. When the woman confronted them, the men attacked her, and when her son tried calling the police, documents said he was dragged.
The Hennepin County Attorney's Office charged Lewis in connection with nine more incidents, alleging he was connected to several other burglaries and vehicle thefts in Edina and Minnetonka. Those incidents included several that occurred in people's driveways.
Many of those other charges have been dismissed.
