Authorities have informed that an insurance agent from Nebraska has admitted kidnapping an Iowa man and trying to get him to withdraw $80,000 from his bank at gunpoint.

Omaha insurance agent Mark Rose allegedly was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and wielding a gun when he showed up in the Essex, Iowa, home of Jim Dukeshier last Thursday, KETV-TV in Omaha reported on Wednesday.

Dukeshier, 70, who was napping at the time, said "I hear the voice calling me, 'Jim, Jim are you there. I recognized the voice as the man who sold me insurance back in November. Well, he knew very likely that I had assets, because when I purchased the insurance from him, he was aware of what money I had available."

They drove to his bank in Shenandoah where he first tried to make the withdrawal at the drive-through, Dukeshier said. When the teller told him he would have to come inside to get such a large amount, Dukeshier went in, leaving Rose in the car. Dukeshier then told bank employees what was happening and police were called.

Reports from KETV-TV further said that Rose had left by the time police arrived, but when they contacted him at his home, he voluntarily returned to Essex Friday and confessed. He was freed on $20,000 bond. (With Inputs from Agencies)
