Cook County prosecutors described chaotic scenes of gunfire and looting as some of the nearly 700 people arrested by Chicago police Sunday appeared before a judge during a marathon bond hearing.

A 32-year-old Joliet Junior College alum wanted in Georgia and Texas on non-extraditable warrants was arrested around 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning and charged with burglary and looting at the clothing store Zumiez, 2 S. State St., according to prosecutors.

One, a man arrested around 5:30 p.m. Saturday after officers found him wielding a metal pole and smashing a window to an Ann Taylor store at 12 N. Wabash Ave., was found with a gun but only charged with criminal damage to property.

A 21-year-old man was arrested around 3:30 a.m. Sunday breaking windows of a jewelry store in the 4600 block of Kedzie Avenue and stealing items from inside before fleeing upon officers' arrival, according to prosecutors.

A 36-year-old licensed gun owner was arrested around 9:30 p.m. Sunday after patrolling officers heard numerous gunshots at the scene of looting at the Dollar General, 5018 S. Cicero Ave.

Two men were arrested after a brief chase and crash that began when officers noticed a passenger waving a gun around inside a car, prosecutors said.

A 22-year-old mom who works full-time as a security guard at Menards was arrested and charged with looting TVs from a Best Buy.
