RAPID CITY, S.D. – The man police say left behind one of the ‘largest crime scenes’ in Rapid City history entered a plea of not guilty Thursday.
Billy Robertson is charged with stealing two pickups, breaking into three homes or garages, and stabbing, assaulting or threatening six people during an early morning crime spree on July 21.
Robertson was apprehended by police after he allegedly drove towards an officer who shot at him multiple times but did not hit him. Robertson was driving across the Meadowbrook Golf Course at the time.
Robertson is charged with 13 felonies, and the state is also accusing him of being a habitual offender, and that could lead to a potential life sentence if he’s convicted.
Robertson pleaded not guilty to all 13 charges and denied the habitual offender accusation.
Judge Craig Pfeifle set his bond at 750,000 dollars, which is higher than what the prosecutors had requested.
Robertson has another hearing set for September 10th.
