Alexandria police arrested a man after he allegedly crashed his car into multiple vehicles and and got into a foot chase with police.

The incident occurred on Thanksgiving (Nov. 24) at around 2:30 p.m. in the 500 block of N. Quaker Lane, according to a search warrant affidavit recently released at the city’s courthouse..

Police were called multiple times about a gray sedan swerving in and out of lanes with “significant front-end damage,” police reported in the search warrant affidavit. “Other callers described the vehicle as ‘missing a wheel and driving on its rims.'”

Police tried to pull the sedan over, but the suspect allegedly got out of the car and fled on foot. He was arrested a short time later in the 600 block of President Ford Lane.

The suspect was transported to the hospital after his arrest. He was charged with failing to stop at the scene of an accident and driving without a license. He was released that same day on a $1,000 unsecured bond and goes to court on Jan. 27.
