A transient man was taken into custody this (Friday) morning in Council Bluffs, for 2nd Degree Robbery. Council Bluffs Police say officers responded at around 8:50-a.m. to the 700 block of West Washington, for an armed male making threats. When officers arrived they learned, the victim, Steven Hairston II, and his wife, Candice Hairston, from Council Bluffs, were getting inside their vehicle when the suspect, 35-year old Daniel Kennedy, approached them.

Kennedy allegedly pointed what looked like a handgun at the couple, and began yelling at them to, “Get out of the car!” When Steven Hairston got out of his vehicle, he realized the handgun was a toy and he told Kennedy the police were on the way. Kennedy then allegedly threw a glass bottle and a sweatshirt at Hairston.

Officers arrived on scene and where able to detain Kennedy, and placed him under arrest. He was charged with Robbery 2nd and transported to Pottawattamie County Corrections for processing.
