A Red Oak man was arrested Thursday afternoon, for allegedly Trespassing on railroad property. Police say 29-year old Joshua J. Pedersen was observed walking along the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks just east of J. Avenue, on the east side of Red Oak.

Pedersen was taken into custody without incident at around 4:20-p.m. and brought to the Montgomery County Jail, where he was being held on $300 bond.

A Council Bluffs man was arrested on a felony Willful Injury charge Thursday evening, following an incident at 1435 North 15th Street that resulted in a stabbing. Bluffs Police Sgt. Dave Dawson says officers were dispatched to the home at around 7-p.m. for a reported stabbing. When they arrived, they found the victim, 40-year old Alphonso Wesley, of Council Bluffs, suffering from three stab wounds to his lower back.

Wesley, and the suspect in the case, 52-year old Bernard Lucas, of Council Bluffs, were staying at the house and are known to each other. Dawson says the men were in a sleeping area, when Lucas allegedly began to push Wesley. As Wesley was walking away from Lucas, Lucas pulled out a black folding knife and allegedly stabbed Wesley from behind, in the back.

Wesley was taken to Mercy Hospital for treatment of Non-life threatening injuries. Lucas was booked into the Pottawattamie County Jail. An investigation into the incident continues.
