SADDLEBROOK, NJ – Bergen County prosecutors have announced they have successfully identified 3 suspects involved in a March 2022 robbery outside a Saddlebrook hotel.

Police in Saddlebrook said Uber driver Karina Ereyman, 30, of Fairlawn, was driving when an ex-convict named Antonio Bowen, 28 years old in Fairlawn, pulled a knife and put it to the passenger’s neck in the parking lot outside of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Saddlebrook.

Bergen County prosecutor Mark Musella said Ereyman was an accomplice in the robbery.

According to Mussella, Bowen forced the victim to hand over $3000, his backpack, and other unidentified items, the prosecutor’s office said in a press release. After committing the robbery, Bowen fled in the vehicle, which was driven by Allen Ernst, 28, of Garfield.

After an investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, police realized that the robbery was set up by the three individuals.
