Man sentenced to prison for Minnetonka carjacking
Romell Lewis was sentenced after the Aug. 2023 carjacking of a woman and her 13-year-old son in Minnetonka.
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.

A Golden Valley couple is making wood carvings to generate funds for groups raising awareness of opioid dangers.
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — In the last couple of weeks, some good news came out about overdose deaths. They are declining, rapidly in some states. That deserves our attention.
But what needs our attention too, is that there are not zero deaths. The news remains grim.
In the heat of the moment thousands and thousands of times a young person takes a pill to take the edge off, and not knowing what’s in it, dies. That’s what happened to a young man named Adam. And his parents in Golden Valley are doing all they can to keep other parents from facing the future they face.
They are carving items from wood that other woodworkers wouldn’t touch and making it beautiful. They make carvings, vases, menorahs, bowls and everything in between. The work is called Art of the Heart, and it’s sold for a profit they see none of.
All of the money goes to Change the Outcome, an organization that educates kids about the dangers of opioids.
The Michaelynns are holding their annual sale at their Golden Valley home from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The address is 500 Valleywood Circle.
