The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports three juveniles face charges following a series of incidents on the Wabash Trace. Deputies began receiving reports during the month of July of logs, rocks, tree branches, and fishing line being placed across the trail. This was occurring on Thursday evenings during the bicycle ride known as “The Taco Ride”. This lead to the potential of serious injury if a rider were to be thrown off a bicycle.

Deputies patrolled the trail on Thursdays in an attempt to catch those responsible. On August 9th Deputies were alerted to three suspicious individuals on the trail and were able to locate three male juveniles. It was determine that the three males had placed fishing line across the trail. The line was located and removed. The three juveniles were then charged with Harassment in the 3rd Degree in juvenile court.

No injuries were reported as a result of the activity.
