Motel Robbery in Council Bluffs Saturday Morning

News

January 31st, 2015 by admin

Council Bluffs Police responded to the scene of an armed robbery of a motel early Saturday morning.  Officers responded at 12:52am to the Days Inn Motel at 3208 South 7th Street in Council Bluffs.  The suspect entered the lobby area of the motel and pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the clerk on duty.  He then reached over the counter and took an undetermined amount of cash from the register drawer and fled on foot.

The clerk saw the suspect leave the scene in a white SUV and an officer in the area spotted the vehicle northbound on South Expressway.  Officers attempted to stop the vehicle when a pursuit began with the suspect throwing cash and clothing out of the car window and ramming a police cruiser in the process.  The suspect eventually left the vehicle in the 2700 block of South 6th Street and fled on foot.

At 1:11am the 911 center received a call from a female subject stating that her husband had just come home and wanted to report being assaulted and having his 2011 Kia Sorrento stolen.  Officers responded to the residence where he was transported to the Criminal Investigation Division for questioning.  It was later determined that the man was involved in the robbery and assault of a peace officer and was booked into Pottawattamie County Corrections.  The investigation is still ongoing.
