Rapid City man arrested for making threats against Gov. Rhoden
Court Documents say Christians used a code to get into her car, Monday morning, while she was at work and waited for her. He convinced her to drive to a nearby parking lot and get in the backseat with him. Then he pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed her repeatedly until she died.He then called a friend and asked to meet at the Empire Mall and told the friend that Eirinberg's body was in the vehicle.
'Officers were dispatched after Metro Communications received a call from an individual who said there was a man that he was there with that had killed his girlfriend,' said Lt. Nyberg.
Police found Eirinberg's body in the back of a Ford Escape in the parking lot near Dick's Sporting Goods. Officers took Christians into custody and he is now in the Minnehaha County Jail.
Police are familiar with Christians, a check of court records shows he has an extensive criminal history. Past charges include assault, robbery, hit and run and DWI and started when he was still a teenager. He also has a history of avoiding his court dates.
The victim's family tells us that Eirinberg and Christians were no longer dating at the time of her death. Minnehaha County States Attorney Daniel Haggar tells KELOLAND News that Christians will make his initial court appearance tomorrow.

Davison County Sheriff opposing possible prison near Mitchell
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – The sheriff for Davison County is officially opposing the idea of building a new men's prison near Mitchell. Last week, Gov. Larry Rhoden's Project Prison Rest task force included Mitchell among Worthing and other existing DOC sites as a possible site for a new men's prison facility to replace the current South Dakota State Penitentiary located in Sioux Falls. 35-year-old arrested in early morning crime spree including stolen bus In a post on social media, Davison County Sheriff Steve Harr said he 'will not be supporting bringing the state prison to Davison County.' 'I contacted Minnehaha County Sheriff Milstead, who sits on the task force, informing him of this. I have asked him to forward it on to the entire task force,' Harr wrote. Harr said prior to last week's task force meeting, he had signed a letter of support for the prison near Mitchell. 'This was done with hopes Davison County would make the final cut and some conversations would start,' Harr wrote. 'It was not done as a statement of 'we need a prison in Mitchell.' Well, as you know, this was successful, as the conversation all over town is on this topic.' Harr said he believes it has become clear there's a large number of residents opposed to a new men's prison being built near Mitchell. 'My job as Sheriff is to look out for the citizens of Davison County and I feel that is what is being done by coming to this decision,' Harr said. 'I would like to thank everyone that has reached out or made your concerns known in other ways.' Project Prison Reset plans to meet again in July to discuss further options for replacing the State Penitentiary. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
