Authorities are investigating the robbery of a bank in Council Bluffs. According to Bluffs Police, a black male wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, blue sweatpants and a ski mask walked into the American National Bank at 2650 W. Broadway at around 10-a.m. The man, brandishing a gun, jumped over the counter and demanded money from a teller before leaving through the bank’s east doors. He got away with an undetermined amount of cash. One of the bundles contained a dye-pack that exploded as the suspect was on foot.

Police officers found a several yards long money trail along Avenue A, and followed it back toward West Broadway, but they were unable to locate the suspect. The incident remains under investigation.

The Iowa State Patrol says a Nebraska man was arrested Tuesday night after he crashed his motorcycle into a ditch. Officials say 55-year old Glenn Allen, of Omaha, was traveling at a high rate of speed on his 1996 Ducati M900 cycle when he lost control. The bike crashed at around 9:50-p.m., and came to rest in the west ditch off of Interstate 29 southbound, about 4.5-miles north of Council Bluffs. The cycle was totaled in the crash, with the damage estimated at $4,000. Allen refused medical treatment at the scene. He was charged with OWI/1st offense, Failure to Maintain Control, and Failure to have a Valid License or permit to operate a motor vehicle.

Online court records indicate two former Nodaway Valley High School wrestlers arrested last year in connection with a hazing incident have plead guilty to harassment and serious assault charges. Judge Paul Huscher, Tuesday, sentenced 18-year-old Michael Fieck and 18-year-old Jacob Wayne Schliessman to a total of 90-days each in the Adair County Jail, followed by two-years probation. They were facing two-years in jail. The men each plead guilty to two counts of first-degree harassment and two counts of serious assault. They had originally been charged with second-degree sexual abuse.

The charges were later changed to two counts each of felonious assault. Last March, Feick and Schliessman, who was 17 at the time of the incident, both entered pleas of not guilty to the charges of two counts of felonious assault, and waived their right to a speedy trial.

The incident which led to their arrest happened in December 2011, and pertained to the hazing of a fellow student on the Nodaway Valley wrestling squad. The unidentified student had said the assault happened when he missed a practice session. A subsequent investigation by the Greenfield Police Department indicated there may have been as many as three victims of hazing. Both of the accused teens were expelled from the school.
