A Pottawattamie County man was arrested Thursday night following an incident in Avoca, involving his girlfriend. Pott. County Sheriff’s officials say 35-year old Andrew Paul Nelson, of Avoca, was arrested for Domestic Assault with Injury. Deputies had been called to his residence after his 28-year old girlfriend reported she had allegedly been assaulted. The woman suffered minor injuries. Deputies arriving on the scene were told the suspect (Nelson) had left. He later called them to discuss the matter, and was placed under arrest at around 10:30-p.m.

And, a Pottawattamie County man told a Deputy who stopped him Thursday morning, that he knew he was going to be arrested. 27-year old Nicholas Paul Gilmore, of Council Bluffs, also asked the Deputy to call his dad as well as his boss. Gilmore, who was also on Probation, was instead allowed to call his dad on his own cell at the scene, before he was taken into custody. The traffic stop occurred just before 10-a.m., after the Deputy, who was traveling in the opposite direct to Gilmore’s vehicle, did a random check of the front license plate. Records show the Gilmore was the registered owner/driver of the car, and that the driver’s license had been barred in the State of Iowa.
