Around 3 a.m., a witness called 911 after they heard a loud bang. They later said a silver truck had run into one of the bank’s ATM machines.

Law enforcement located a vehicle matching the truck’s description, before it drove off over the border. Iowa law enforcement eventually found the truck flipped over and arrested Kinney nearby.

Two other suspects are believed to be at large, but Mower County Sheriff Steve Sandvik would not release any information on who the two are and how close law enforcement is to apprehending them.

Kinney’s sentencing date is set for May 15, 2025 at 3 p.m.
