Bond has been set at $100,000 for a 31-year-old Salem man who has been charged in Marion County Court with vehicular hijacking and violation of an order of protection following a Sunday incident.
Jacob Erwin of Shuler Road is accused in the charge of pushing the female protected by the order of protection from the driver’s seat of her car to the passenger seat while it was parked outside her apartment at Mills Crossing. Erwin is then accused of driving off with the alleged victim.
Salem Police say Erwin pulled the car over and ran on foot when encountering some of the family members of the alleged victim. He was later found hiding in the bathroom at the Burger King restaurant.
Erwin had the public defender appointed to represent him. If released on bond, he was ordered to have no contact with the victim and ordered to abstain and undergo drug testing.
