August 4th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – A former University of Iowa wrestler has taken a plea deal in his Linn County burglaries case. The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports that 19-year-old Ross Lembeck pleaded guilty to being an accessory to a felony and to drunken driving. Prosecutors dismissed nine burglary counts and other charges in exchange for Lembeck’s pleas. He was fined more than $1,300 last month and was ordered to serve a weekend program on drunken driving.

Lembeck is one of three former Hawkeye wrestlers arrested to face burglary charges after several vehicle break-ins in Marion on March 18. Nineteen-year-olds Logan Ryan, of Bettendorf, and Seth Gross, of Apple Valley, Minnesota, have pleaded not guilty and are scheduled to begin trial on Sept. 14th. The team has dismissed all three wrestlers.

Authorities say the accident happened at around 5:40-p.m. in the 700 block of South U Avenue. Upon investigation, it was determined 53-year old Dennis James Gibson, of Villisca, was traveling south on U Avenue in a 2001 Saturn, when the car hit the rear of a southbound 2005 Ford Focus that was slowing to make a turn.

Neither Gibson, nor the driver of the other vehicle, 33-year old Candix Jo Marie Boudreau, of Villisca, were injured in the collision. Boudreau was cited for operating a motor vehicle without a valid license. Damage from the collision amounted to $3,500.
