The vehicle collided with two police cruisers, two parked vehicles, a nearby front porch.  The suspect then abandoned the vehicle and allegedly ran away but officers found him behind a nearby home.  Officers were forced to Taser the man because he allegedly resisted arrest.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.
