Somehow, Haynes didn’t sustain any injuries, as images on the police department’s Facebook page show the car’s front totally smashed in and suspended half in the air.

The 32-year-old remains in custody and faces a number of charges, including resisting arrest, unlawfully possessing a controlled substance, and robbery.
