A Woodstock man hit one vehicle and rammed a cruiser trying to avoid arrest on Sunday morning. Police eventually got their man and he is now facing multiple charges.

WOODSTOCK - Woodstock Police say a wanted man slammed into a cruiser while trying to flee from arrest on Sunday morning.

- 5 Counts: Failure to Comply with Release Order
