KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — An Iowa man has pleaded guilty to his part in a Missouri bank robbery after which the suspects left their loot in a tree.
Twenty-seven-year-old Torrence Joseph O’Neill, of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Kansas City to one count of bank robbery.

O’Neill and two other Iowa men were accused of robbing the Citizens Bank and Trust in Burlington Junction in March.

A witness who followed the three men helped Nodaway County authorities capture them. A few days later, authorities found the more than $12,000 taken from the bank hidden in a tree in southern Iowa.

The other suspects, Donald Kester Jr, of Mount Pleasant, and Travis Davis, of Fort Dodge, have change of plea hearing
