A Texas college
student accused of an erratic crime spree in North Dallas this week apologized
to the victims in a jailhouse interview Thursday.
Investigators say
Eric Keng carjacked someone, tried to rob a business and led police on a chase
in a stolen vehicle on Tuesday.
"I apologize
for anything that I did to anyone. It wasn't intentional. I don't know what
happened," Keng told NBC News in an exclusive interview.
Police said Keng
went on a wild rampage.
Officers said he
smashed a driver's windshield with a golf club, tried to carjack two people,
successfully carjacked a third and tried to rob a business.
Investigators
said Keng then led police on a car chase in a stolen vehicle.
Officers used
spike sticks to get Keng to pull over.
Police said he
was so erratic, officers had to wrestle him to the ground using pepper spray.
Keng said he took
an energy supplement earlier in the day.
"I was
cleaning my mom's house to make sure she was happy when she got home, and then
I took some pre-workout stuff called C4, and then I went completely nuts,"
he said.
Keng said he
often takes the energy supplement and thinks someone, possibly a friend,
slipped something in it that caused him to act out.
"I think I was drugged," he said.
"I sincerely
believe someone put something in that C4, because I've taken it many times
before, and the one time I took it this time, I wake up in jail and hear about
this (expletive), and that's not me," he said.
Keng started
crying several times during the interview.
He also
apologized to his family.
"I just
don't want my mom to be mad," he said, with tears running down his face.
"It's not me, but clearly it is. I'm sorry."
Keng said he was
enrolled to continue classes at Brookhaven Community College in the fall.
He said was
hoping to join the military or the Air Force but doesn't see any of that
happening now.
