Bank Robbery Suspect Led Authorities to Buried Money

Smerud faced charges including theft and concealed identity but some counts were dismissed. He allegedly entered the OWA Today bank on October 31 in a monster mask with a sawed-off shotgun and demanded over $10,000. Three brothers saw a matching getaway vehicle and traced clues to Smerud, whose jeans contained his name. He then guided police to the buried money, freeing a La Crescent man jailed as a suspect.
