Defendant pleads not guilty to carjacking case involving threats to kidnap before DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Pasichow.
Guilbert Rojas Villarroel, 40, is charged with armed carjacking, robbery while armed, first-degree theft, and threats to injure or kidnap a person, for his alleged involvement in a carjacking incident that occurred Sept. 9, 2023 on the 2100 block of K Street, NW. No injuries were reported.
According to court documents, this incident involved a driver who was picking up an Uber Eats order when the defendant occupied the driver’s seat with the owner’s brother in the passenger seat. Following this action, the defendant allegedly made threats to kill the car owner’s brother if he were to try and contact emergency services or the authorities.
On June 13, Rojas Villarroel and his defense attorney, Christopher Mutimer, alerted the court he was pleading not guilty to all charges.
Parties are slated to return on July 17.
