A traffic stop on a vehicle with a registration violation Monday night in Anita, turned into a pursuit and resulted in the arrest of a man whose license indicated he was from Pottawattamie County. Cass County Deputy Kyle Quist told KJAN News Deputy Tim Olsen made the traffic stop on a 2016 Ford Taurus, at around 11:25-p.m. The car, driven by 25-year old Kyler O’Brien, of Council Bluffs, took off, leading Olsen on a chase that wound its way on mostly gravel roads.

A Shelby County Sheriff’s Deputy placed stop sticks on the road in the area of Highway 173 and Boston Road. The Taurus hit the device and came to a stop just west of there. O’Brien was taken into custody at around 11:46-p.m. without further incident.

He was transported to the Cass County Jail, where he faces charges that include Driving While Barred, Eluding, numerous moving violations, and a weapons charge (for possessing a small switchblade). Assisting the Cass County Sheriff’s Office during the incident, were deputies from Shelby and Audubon Counties, Atlantic Police, and the Iowa State Patrol.
