Officer Dennis Nabs Bandits After Early Morning Chase
In Pella a dramatic morning unfold as Charley Dennis arrested three men in a supposedly stolen car. One suspect knocked the officer down, but Dennis and Marshal Breuklander recovered control, locking the trio in jail. The suspects’ papers burned, loot found, and extra license numbers suggest a larger operation tied to Limbury and Limbury store robberies. Ohio authorities later claimed the car was stolen in Sunbury, and a reward loomed for their transfer to Ohio with potential further charges. Dennis may travel to testify.
