A search turned up a handgun, police say Lol then ran on foot and a chase ensued.  Officers lost sight of Lol, but then brought in a K-9 unit. The K-9 was able to track Lol and he was arrested without incident. Lol entered a guilty plea to possessing a handgun. He was prohibited from possessing a gun after a 2019 conviction for attempted burglary in Buena Vista County.  Lol has been sentenced to 27 months in federal prison.
