Kevin Michael Roban

On 4/18/26 at about 0053 hours, a 2013 Ford F150 (MN/KPS971) passed a Maplewood Police squad in the right-hand lane on White Bear Ave in Maplewood, Ramsey County. The truck was speeding, driving at 52 mph in a 40 mph zone, and was swerving over lane lines. When the officer ran the vehicle’s license plate, the driver’s license for the registered owner, Kevin Michael ROBAN ([DOB REDACTED]), came back as revoked. The officer initiated a traffic stop near Frost Ave. The driver was identified as ROBAN. ROBAN’s eyes were bloodshot and watery, his speech was slurred, and the officer smelled the odor of alcoholic beverage coming from his person.

ROBAN said he had drunk “two shots” of alcohol. ROBAN was unable to provide proof of insurance. ROBAN was removed from the vehicle. ROBAN refused to perform standardized field sobriety tests and refused to provide a PBT breath sample. ROBAN was arrested. As the officer walked ROBAN to a squad, ROBAN headbutted the officer, striking the officer in the head. ROBAN was taken to the ground where he continued resisting and tried to kick officers. ROBAN was transported to the Maplewood Police Department where he was read the Breath Test Advisory.

ROBAN refused to answer questions. After police provided him the opportunity to contact an attorney, ROBAN refused to take the DMT breath test. ROBAN has a previous felony conviction for Criminal Vehicular Homicide (27-CR-07-010584) involving alcohol or a controlled substance.
