An Evansville man faces multiple charges after a police pursuit.
In a news release, Evansville Police say 24-year-old Alexander Schnarr fled from officers Tuesday morning after they spotted smoke coming from a car parked in an alley in the 900 block of S. Garvin.
Police say Schnarre refused to get out of the car or identify himself.
After being asked several times to exit his car, police say Schnarre drove away and crashed into a police car.

He was taken into custody without further incident.
Schnarre was wanted for escape from home detention and petition to revoke his probation at the time of the incident.
He now also faces charges of Battery with a Deadly Weapon, Resisting Law Enforcement, Hit and Run, Narcotics possession, and several traffic offenses.
He was booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail.
