Around 9 a.m. Monday, a Waterloo patrol officer stopped the car running a red light at East Fifth and Walnut streets. The vehicle initially pulled over but then took off, leading police on a chase that almost T-boned another vehicle on Sycamore Street and sped across the Fifth Street bridge.

Police broke off the chase and found the Chrysler a short time later in the 700 block of Randolph Street. They followed footprints in the snow and arrested Bruno, of 1031 Third St., Cedar Falls, for eluding and second-degree theft. His bond was set at $7,900.
