A man driving a reportedly stolen vehicle in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky is facing a slew of charges after allegedly driving erratically and plowing into another driver while trying to escape from the police.

According to reports, a car was recently reported stolen from someone who gave the authorities a physical description of the person they believed took the vehicle. On the afternoon of June 22, Lexington police spotted what they believed was the stolen car being driven by someone fitting the description provided by the alleged victim. When they tried to pull him over, things reportedly became complicated when the man allegedly tried to get away. After reportedly turning the wrong way on a one-way street, he slammed into the side of another vehicle, and the driver was taken to the hospital. The suspect allegedly took off on foot and was caught behind a nearby residence.

The man, whom the police alleged smelled strongly of alcohol, reportedly said he smoked something from a pipe that was found in the vehicle, but was unsure what it was. He was taken to a nearby hospital for assessment and treatment, and while there, the suspect reportedly refused to consent to a blood test for drug screening.
