COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – A 22-year-old Council Bluffs man has been given 10 years in prison for trying to kidnap a girl near her elementary school. Omaha, Nebraska, television station KMTV reports Nathan Busse pleaded guilty Thursday to child stealing after prosecutors dropped a kidnapping charge.

Council Bluffs police say Busse grabbed the girl in January 2013 near Edison Elementary School and forced her to walk with him. She struggled with Busse and broke away. After mental testing in 2014, Busse was found incompetent for trial. This past March he was found competent for trial. At sentencing he was given credit for the time served while being treated in a state institution.

An investigation into a possible burglary early this (Friday) morning in Council Bluffs, resulted in a foot pursuit, but no one was apprehended. Bluffs Police say officers were called to the vicinity of 1868 Pueblo Road, at around 12:30-a.m. for a report of a possible burglary in progress. Upon arrival officers parked several houses away and approached on foot, after observing items that appeared to be taken from a nearby shed. As they got to the rear of the residence, one officer observed a man run north and west from the rear of the residence.

Officers who began to chase the man ordered him to stop, but the suspect, who wore  a dark coat, jumped multiple fences and ran to Onawa Avenue before getting into a maroon Pontiac. As officers approached, the man started the vehicle, turned the headlights on and began to drive in reverse at a high rate of speed.

Moments later, another officer saw the vehicle traveling north bound on S. 24th St turning west on to I-80 westbound. Omaha Police helicopter “Able 1” was dispatched and followed the vehicle to an apartment building near 14th and W Streets. The suspect parked the vehicle in the back lot and ran from the vehicle. Able 1 lost sight of the man as he ran around an apartment building.

The suspect was not identified. No injuries were reported.
