On December 17, 2020, Kristofer Erlbacher, Caleb, and another person were hanging out in a bar, having a meal and a few drinks when their night took a dark and scary turn.
Apparently, Erlbacher put some mayo in a meal Solberg was eating. Solberg then became very angry and started to punch Erlbacher, which started a fight between the two of them. Erlbacher left in his truck and drove to a nearby cafe. While driving, he called Solberg’s half-brother twice and informed him of what had happened that evening. He also threatened him and Solberg. It is claimed that Erlbacher stated he was going to set the house on fire and shot Solberg with a shotgun he owned on his way out after starting the fire.
Solberg and his half-brother went to the cafe, and reportedly, another fight broke out. After the fight, someone said they heard Erlbacher say, “I’ll take care of this,” and he got into his truck and slammed into the half-brother’s vehicle, then drove off. He drove down the street briefly but saw Solberg outside a bar. He then drove into him and hit him with the truck. Solberg started screaming while Erlbacher drove away but turned back soon after and ran him over a few more times before fleeing or attempting to, but his truck broke down. He called his dad to help, who immediately picked him up and returned him to the crime scene where Erlbacher was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. He was found guilty in December 2021 and sentenced to life.
All this over mayo! I mean, yeah, don’t mess with my food. It’s a shitty thing to do, but this is just so out of proportion. I’m so sorry for the family and hope they are doing as well as they can.
