Police in Council Bluffs, early Saturday morning, arrested a man who was allegedly reckless driving a pickup truck. When officers attempted to stop the Ford F-150 at around 1:50-a.m., the vehicle – which had no license plate – sped-off and led police on a pursuit beginning at around 32nd and West Broadway.

Officers successfully deployed stop sticks on the I-480 bridge deflating three of the pickup’s tires. The driver bailed from the vehicle at 11th and Capitol in Omaha, where he was quickly apprehended. The man was identified as 31-year old Anthony David Stephens, of Council Bluffs.

Stephens was arrested on several charges including a parole violation warrant out of Council Bluffs.
