The trial for a Fort Dodge man accused of an early morning robbery in September outside Ossy’s Show Club has been moved to next month. According to Carroll County District Court records, 19-year-old Tyraius Percel McElroy is charged with first-degree robbery, a class B felony, and first-degree theft, a class C felony. The Carroll Police Department alleges he assaulted a victim and took their wallet. When McElroy tried to leave the scene in a vehicle, the victim attempted to stop him and was dragged briefly while hanging out the window. The trial was originally slated to begin Nov. 14 but has been pushed back to Tuesday, Feb. 18 to allow for additional discovery. A pretrial conference regarding the matter is set for Feb. 10. If found guilty, McElroy faces a maximum penalty of 35 years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
