One person was arrested following an investigation into an argument early this (Monday) morning, in Council Bluffs. Authorities say Roberto Daniel Gonzalez was arrested following a brief foot pursuit. Officers were dispatched to the 400 block of S. 1st Street at around 1:25-a.m., following a call about someone arguing. As they approached the scene, officers noticed a suspicious male and asked him about the disturbance. The suspect (Gonzalez) spoke with them briefly, before fleeing on foot.

As Officers pursued him, Gonzalez was allegedly reaching into his pocket. He was ordered numerous times to remove his hand from his pocket, but would not comply. Gonzalez was then tased by the officer and taken into custody without further incident. A bag he threw during the chase was recovered, and contained methamphetamine. Gonzalez was charged with Eluding, Possession of Meth with the intent to deliver, and interference with official acts.
