Officers with the Council Bluffs Police Department responded a little after 9:30-a.m today (Wednesday), to 828 Ave B to assist US Marshalls with a wanted person refusing to exit an apartment. Officers received information alleging a wanted party, considered to be armed and dangerous was at this location. Upon knocking and announcing a Police presence officers observed people inside begin to move around but ignore requests to answer the door.

Acting on information that the occupants were possibly armed and had made statements of wanting to resist arrest, the Council Bluffs Emergency Services Team and Negotiators were activated. Following numerous at tempts to establish communications with the occupants a window was breeched at which time the occupants stated they would exit and comply with any orders.

A man, 43-year old Casy Kagy and a woman, 37-year old Heidi Kopf, exited the residence and were taken into custody. No injuries were reported from the incident. Kopf was arrested on outstanding warrants through Lancaster County, Nebraska. Kagy was charged with Interference with Official Acts.
