When officers arrived on the scene about 8:30 a.m. that day, Metz fled and attempted to strike several police officers, police said.

Metz then tried to evade police by speeding until he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a town-home in the 1500 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, police said. Metz was arrested and transported to Lutheran General Hospital for injuries.
