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

He was eventually arrested about 20 minutes later on Palmer Lane. The 28 year from Woodstock is now facing the following charges:
- 5 Counts: Failure to Comply with Release Order
- Dangerous Operation
- 2 counts: Failure to Stop After Accident
- Flight from Peace Officer
- 2 counts: Possessing Counterfeit Money – have in custody
- 2 counts: Failure to Comply with Probation Order
