There are an awful lot of guys out there named Eric J. Roberts.
The most prominent seems to be a podiatrist in Tampa, then there was a film director with that name as well as a trucking company.
It's highly unlikely you mean any of those so you're going to  have to help me and tell me who he is/was and who he worked for please?

Thanks!  I've tracked him and his town sedan down now.
I can't say with absolute certainty whether he was involved or not as there is no mention of him in my source, but I would say it was most likely nothing to do with him.
