Iowa Man Accused Of Robbing Fargo Motel Pleads Not Guilty

An Iowa man accused of robbing a downtown Fargo motel at gunpoint has pleaded not guilty in federal court.

Thirty-year-old Eric Webb, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is charged with five counts, including armed robbery, use of a firearm during a crime of violence, and possession a firearm by a convicted felon.

Webb was shot by a Fargo police officer shortly after the June 4 holdup. He spent time in a Fargo hospital before he was transferred to the Cass County Jail.

Trial is scheduled for Oct. 13 in Fargo. State charges against Webb have been dismissed.

Neil Fulton, head of the federal public defender’s office for the Dakotas, says defense attorneys are reviewing the case and “will know more” in the coming weeks.
