Good morning, Waterloo.

Organizers said the peaceful May Day event brought community members together—showing strong local support.

A Waterloo woman and her boyfriend, both Arby’s employees in Evansdale, are accused of starting a small fire near the kitchen door early Tuesday that caused minor damage—both were arrested on Wednesday and face charges of second-degree arson on $10,000 bond.
