(Rockwell City, Iowa) – Authorities in northwest Iowa said today (Sunday), a man wanted on a warrant out of Texas for Murder, was arrested Sunday morning (Oct. 20) just outside of Pomeroy, ending his more than two-years on the run. The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office said 39-year-old Kyle Andrew Coolack was detained by a Calhoun County Sheriff’s Deputy at around 7:33-a.m., after he was found walking along Highway 4.

Coolack had initially given the deputy a name that did not return any information, and was suspected of being false. Less than an hour later, during questioning, he revealed his true identity, and was arrested on an outstanding murder warrant issued by the Houston, TX, Police Department on July 15, 2022.

The man’s arrest followed a call to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office from a Pomeroy resident who had just kicked a man out of his house, where he had recently been staying. The caller said the subject left the residence and was possibly walking south toward Fort Dodge. The Pomeroy resident told authorities also, that in a conversation among household members, the male subject (Coolack) admitted to be on the run for killing his own brother. That conversation led to Coolack being kicked-out of the residence.

Kyle Coolack was transported to the Carroll County Jail and held, pending extradition to Houston, TX.
