“49-year-old Robert Inderbitzen was arrested this past Wednesday for the January 24, 2022 murder of Tracy resident Eric Almason. The murder weapon has also been recovered.
Around 10pm on Monday, January 24th, 2022, Mr. Almason responded to his ranch on the 26000-block of South Lammers Road in Tracy, after being alerted by neighbors that someone was trying to break into buildings on the property.
After arriving on-scene, Mr. Alason confronted a man later identified as Robert Inderbitzen. Our investigation determined that Inderbitzen then shot and killed Mr. Almason and fled. Inderbitzen was taken into custody in Stanislaus County by the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday, January 26th.
Inderbitzen has an extensive criminal history in San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties, including arrests for burglary, stolen vehicles, drug and firearm possession, and domestic violence.
We would like to thank the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance in apprehending Inderbitzen. He is currently being held in the Stanislaus County Jail on charges unrelated to this case, and will be extradited to San Joaquin County upon his release.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of Eric Almason.”
