An 18-year-old Farmington man is charged with felony robbery and fifth-degree assault for allegedly head-butting his friend and stealing money from his wallet, Feb. 6.
According to a Dakota County criminal complaint, Alexander Eldon Olsen hid in a bathroom of a house knowing the victim, identified as Z.M., would be coming to the residence.
When Z.M. was in the bedroom, Olsen allegedly ran out, threw Z.M. on the bed, straddled his waist, held his arms at the wrist and demanded his money.
He head-butted Z.M. twice in the forehead and once on his mouth, rolled him over and took $70 from his wallet, as he held him by the neck, police say.
Z.M. allegedly ran out of the room and downstairs, and Olsen threw the wallet down the stairs at him and told him to leave.
Farmington police responded to Z.M.’s 911 call, and noticed he had a large bump on his forehead, a bloody nose and chipped, bloodied teeth, the complaint states.
Olsen allegedly told police he was mad at Z.M. because he had used his credit card without his permission.
Police said Olsen told them he knew Z.M. was going to be at the residence so he went there and waited for him.
The complaint adds that Olsen allegedly admitted to taking cash from Z.M.s wallet after head-butting Z.M. twice.
