RALSTON, Neb. [KETV] — A man from Iowa was arrested by Ralston, Nebraska Police, last week, for allegedly impersonating a Washington County, NE, sheriff’s deputy. KETV reports on April 3rd, Ralston police officers arrested 60-year-old Anthony Robison, of Council Bluffs, at the Wildewood Commons apartments. Police say Robison was wearing a law enforcement uniform suggesting that he was a deputy sheriff with Washington County, including uniform shoulder patches, name plate and a badge, at the time of his arrest.

According to court documents, Robison was terminated from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in the 1990s due to a felony conviction.

Robison was taken into custody for possession of a gun by a prohibited person, identity theft, impersonation of a police officer and false reporting. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 13. His bond was set at $21,000.
