BRIDGEPORT MALL HEIST - Bridgeport Police have arrested a man in connection with an armed robbery at Meadowbrook Mall.
Chad Haught, 31, was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of armed robbery and three counts of fraudulent use of a device.
Haught is in the North Central Regional jail and bail is set at $250,000.

Police say a warrant is out for another man who is believed to be part of the incident.
The hold-up would be big news anytime at the mall, but the mall was packed for the midnight premiere of "Twilight: Breaking Dawn."
Haught robbed the woman near the food court parking lot, authorities said. Police quickly began looking for the man who was armed with a gun.
