(KAIR)--An Atchison man faces numerous charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, after allegedly using his vehicle to intentionally crash into an occupied vehicle.

According to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 22-year-old Ethan Hale, around 6:35 Friday evening, was identified as the driver of a vehicle that struck another vehicle at U.S. Highway 73 and Ravenhill Road, then left the scene.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, in a release, says it was about 10-minutes later that his office received a report that Hale had rammed into a moving vehicle, occupied by two people, three times in the 6000 block of Sherman Road. No one was hurt.

According to Wilson, Hale was located by a police officer in the 400 block of South 10th Street where he was taken into custody by the Kansas Highway Patrol.

Hale now faces charges for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for the alleged attack with his vehicle, reckless driving, driving under the influence and criminal damage to property.

Following his arrest, Hale was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
