Police in Council Bluffs arrested a man in connection with a robbery that took place early this morning. 38-year old Bryan Coulter was arrested after the victim of the crime positively identified him. Coulter was charged with 1st degree Robbery, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Carrying Weapons, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and on an outstanding warrant. His arrest followed a call at around 2:50-a.m. today (Tuesday) to the Walgreens store at 535 East Broadway.

Upon their arrival, officers made contact with a man who said he was in his vehicle at 400 Franklin Ave, when Bryan Coulter came up to his window and asked for his money and phone. The victim told Coulter “no,” and that was when Coulter allegedly pointed a handgun at him, but was unable to operate the weapon. He then left the area, but officers were able to locate the vehicle that Coulter was in, and detained him long enough for the victim to make a positive ID. Coulter was booked in at the Pottawattamie County Jail.
