RPD said they pursued a car that fled from a traffic stop on the 400 block of North 3rd Street. Eventually, the driver bailed and fled on foot, the department said. 

When officers chased him down, he had a firearm with a Glock auto sear (or "switch") and an extended magazine in his possession, police said.
