In his possession officers located a wallet that did not belong to Thompson. Officers contacted the owner of the wallet, a juvenile, who reported being the victim of a Robbery that occurred in Valley View Park.

The juvenile told officers the suspects were armed with a handgun and threatened to “Kill him” while holding the gun to his face. The second suspect, 18-year old Jesse Shipley, of Council Bluffs, was identified when he was brought to Jennie Edmundson Hospital for treatment of injuries that he received during the incident. All parties involved were treated and released from the Hospital.
