According to the Daily NonPareil, 52-year old Robert Kelly, of Round Rock, TX, was pulled over at around 4-a.m. Thursday near Modale, for driving erratically. Kelly allegedly told the deputy who stopped him, that he had robbed a gas station just 90-minutes earlier, in Council Bluffs.
The deputy detained Kelly while his story was being checked out. An investigation revealed the Kwik Shop on North 16th Street and Avenue G in Council Bluffs was robbed by a man wielding a folding knife, at around 2:30-a.m. Thursday. The suspect, later identified as Kelly,allegedly took an undisclosed amount of money and also stepped behind the counter to take bottles of liquor and cigarettes. He then made the clerk get down on the floor before he fled.

The man was transported by Harrison County deputies to Council Bluffs, where he was being held in the Pottawattamie County Jail on $25,000 bond.
