Man uses brick to attempt to rob Iowa armored truck
Pottawattamie County IA Aug 30 2018 An Omaha man charged with robbery had his jury trial date set, as law enforcement alleged he attempted to break into an armored car with a brick at Iowa Western Community College.
Alfonso Mosley, 32, was being held on $25,000 bond at Pottawattamie County Jail as of Tuesday. He appeared in court on Friday. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of second-degree robbery.
According to Council Bluffs Police, an officer was dispatched to Iowa Western on Aug. 13 at 8 a.m. for a reported attempted burglary to an armored car.
Law enforcement met with the reporting party, who is a driver for Armored Knights, a security company that handles ATM services.
The man said he was restocking ATMs on campus near the Kanesville Arena, with the armored car parked outside.
When he came outside, the man told police he saw the suspect, later identified as Mosley, looking through the front windshield of the car.
The man allegedly also noticed several pieces of a broken brick on the ground near the car and told Mosley to step away from the car.
“He believed the offender was going to rob him and/or continue to try and break out the window of the vehicle,” the report reads.
Police said the man was in fear of Mosley assaulting him and taking the car’s payload, and almost drew his sidearm on Mosley.
The man saw the window had been broken and began to call police while Mosley walked into the arena.
Police were given a description of Mosley from the man and found him nearby.
After he was arrested, Mosley told police he wanted to make a statement.
“The offender made several statements about how they shouldn’t leave the money on the front seat and he could see it was just 10s and 20s,” the report reads.
Mosley was later interviewed by the FBI while at the police station. According to the FBI, bank robberies and related crimes are often reported to them by local law enforcement.
In his financial affidavit, Mosley listed items he owned worth more than $100 to include lottery vouchers and earrings.
He was appointed a public defender. His trial is scheduled for Oct. 30.
In June, Mosley filed a violation of civil rights complaint against the State of Nebraska, seeking $250 million for pain and suffering, among other allegations of abuse from law enforcement.
The District Court of Nebraska on Friday attempted to mail Mosley — whose last registered address was the Douglas County Jail — an order for failing to pay a filing fee of $7.34. The mail was returned as undeliverable.
