Guilty pleas emerge in grand jury report cases
In a surprising grand jury session five Moline indictments were dropped or led to guilty pleas. Ben Brice admitted stealing just over $100 from Beder Wood's office, while Dan Gorder’s alibi convinced prosecutors he could not commit the FE A Pierr robbery. The panel returned no bill against Brice after Wood asked for prosecution.
