AUSTIN, Texas — An Austin man is facing charges after police say he threatened a local news station, then led police on a chase.

According to an affidavit, officers responded to a bomb threat on Sept. 20, at the building at 119 E. 10th St. that houses the Fox 7 Austin studios.

At around 1 p.m., 31-year-old Jahred Bruno walked into the building and said he had planted a bomb on the premises. Police later said they didn't find anything when they searched the scene.

After walking out of the building, Bruno left the scene in a vehicle. A police officer noticed the vehicle from the earlier complaint and tried to execute a traffic stop, but Bruno sped away, causing a pursuit.

Bruno's vehicle was ultimately stopped after a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) trooper executed a PIT maneuver, disabling the vehicle. Bruno was then removed from the vehicle and arrested.

Bruno is facing charges of terroristic threat and evading arrest with a vehicle, both third-degree felonies.
