Blade John Flynn

Police say officers responded to the restaurant at around 12:30-p.m. following a reported assault in progress.  Upon arrival officers met with the victims: 19-year old Kylee Fletcher, of Pacific Junction, a 17-year old female from Glenwood, 20-year old Taylor Bower, of Council Bluffs, and 25-year old Elizabeth Heinrich, of Omaha, who informed officers that Flynn used his vehicle to ram their parked vehicle, which all four victims were in.

One of the victims was exiting the vehicle when Flynn struck them, causing the victim to fall to the ground. Witnesses told officers that the suspect’s vehicle, a black Honda Civic struck the victim’s vehicle several times as well as another vehicle, which was unoccupied and parked in the restaurant parking lot. At one point during the incident, two of the victim’s had exited their vehicle and were forced to jump out of the way to avoid being struck by Flynn’s vehicle as he fled the area. The reason behind the incident was said to have been over a personal disagreement between Flynn and one of the female victims.

A short time later officers were able to locate Blade Flynn at his residence, where he was arrested without incident. He was transported to Pottawattamie County Corrections and booked-in on the charges mentioned. The victims were checked by medical personnel, no one sustained major injuries and all were said to be in good condition.

Anyone with any information that was in the area at the time of the incident is encouraged to contact the Council Bluffs Police Investigations Division at 712-328-4728, or Crime Stoppers at 712-328-7867.
