A Lincoln woman now faces a slew of felony charges, including robbery, following a dramatic confrontation over a blue bicycle that escalated to a firearm being brandished. This incident, which transpired in the early hours of July 26, has brought a contentious domestic dispute into the harsh light of a police investigation, culminating in the woman’s arrest and a significant bond in this unfolding Lincoln crime.

Court filings detail the alarming sequence of events, beginning with a man’s arrival at the downtown apartment of 34-year-old Morgan Kriz, with whom he shared a relationship. The man, who had ridden his blue bicycle to Kriz’s residence, soon found himself embroiled in an unexpected and frightening dispute that would quickly escalate.

According to the man’s statement to police, Kriz initially went outside, only to return claiming she had taken possession of his bicycle. The situation further intensified when both parties were later outside, and the man observed Kriz actively removing his bicycle from her car, sparking a direct and escalating confrontation over the property.

As the man attempted to reclaim his property, tugging the bicycle away from Kriz, the encounter took a perilous turn. Police reports allege that Kriz responded with a shocking display of force, pointing a pistol directly at the man’s stomach, an act that immediately instilled a profound fear for his safety and well-being.

Fearing for his life and the potential for severe harm, the man immediately complied with the unspoken threat, raising his hands and retreating from the scene. This swift compliance underscores the grave threat he perceived from the alleged brandishing of the firearm during the heated argument.

The comprehensive police investigation quickly gathered momentum following the report. On Thursday night, officers executed a search warrant at Kriz’s apartment as part of their inquiry into the Lincoln crime. Their search yielded critical evidence: a pistol that precisely matched the description provided by the victim, alongside the disputed blue bicycle, substantiating the man’s account.

Following the discovery of the corroborating evidence, Morgan Kriz was promptly arrested and transported to the Lancaster County jail, now facing serious felony charges. Her initial court appearance on Friday saw a judge setting her percentage bond at a substantial $100,000, mandating a $10,000 payment for her potential release as her legal challenges commence with these severe criminal charges stemming from the volatile domestic dispute.
