Authorities have taken a Waterloo man into custody, after he ran out of gas during a chase into Bremer County.
The incident happened around 2:00 a.m. Wednesday, when a Waterloo Police officer tried to pull over a vehicle near Newell and Ankeny Streets, for a traffic infraction. The driver, later identified as Eric Livingston, took off and led police on a pursuit, sometimes reaching speeds of over 100 miles an hour. The chase continued north on Highway 63, into Bremer County, where Livingston’s gas ran out. The car came to a stop just south of Highway 3. Livingston then fled on foot, and was able to avoid officers for several hours, until a Bremer County deputy took him into custody Livingston was charged with eluding, interference with official acts, driving with a suspended license, and a parole violation and was transported back to Waterloo.
