DAKOTA CITY, Neb. (KTIV) -

A Sioux City man will face federal charges in a bank robbery, now that Nebraska is dropping its case.

67-year-old Max Lafferty, of Sioux City, Iowa, was indicted last week in U-S District Court in Omaha.

Dakota County Attorney Kim Watson filed a motion Friday to dismiss the Nebraska case against Lafferty.  A judge has since granted that dismissal.

Lafferty is accused of robbing a Bank of the West branch in South Sioux City on Sept. 11th.  Police say he flashed a steak knife when he demanded cash from a bank worker, and left the building with about 15-hundred dollars.  He was arrested about a block away.
