2300 mile of Highland Acres Road - Marshall County authorities are investigating a reported robbery incident that occurred late afternoon of Friday, November 29th, 2013, between 5:30pm and about 6:20pm, in the 2300 mile of Highland Acres Road.

Police, Sheriff and EMS personnel responded to the scene after two passersby found a woman lying unconscious on the ground behind her vehicle,( an older Dodge pickup), on the shoulder of the road. The victim had sustained trauma/blows to the head and was transported by MAPS to the Marshalltown Medical and Surgical Center, where she was treated and later released that evening.

A male passenger got out of the suspect vehicle and assaulted the victim. The victim's pickup truck was gone through and sacks of merchandise were taken. These items were from shopping earlier in the day in Marshalltown.

The male suspect is described as being Hispanic or darker skinned, about 30 years of age, with dark hair and a mustache, medium height and build, and was wearing a dark ballcap and dark jacket.
