A man from Pottawattamie County was arrested Sunday night on numerous charges in Council Bluffs, following a reported burglary in progress. Officers were sent to 2545 Avenue I at around 8:30-p.m., and when they arrived on scene found 29-year old Adam Souza, of Council Bluffs, had allegedly broken a window and was attempting to gain access to the residence.

Officers ordered Souza to place his hands behind his back, but he started to run. The officers deployed a Taser, but it was not effective, and Souza continued to flee. He was located soon afterward, and taken into custody.
