A Bowen Hills man is facing 13 charges following a series of alleged traffic incidents across Fortitude Valley and Ascot last Thursday afternoon.
Queensland Police allege the 38-year-old was driving a white Kia Optima that collided with another vehicle at the intersection of Saint Pauls Terrace and Brookes Street in Fortitude Valley around 2.50pm on 20 February.
According to police, the driver left the scene and subsequently crashed into a parked vehicle at the intersection of Wickham Street and Light Street, also in Fortitude Valley.
When officers attempted to stop the Kia, police allege the vehicle continued along Anthony Street before colliding with a blue Holden Astra and a fence in Ascot.
The driver was arrested following the third collision. Police report that a search of the vehicle uncovered a black satchel containing crystal methylamphetamine and liquid gamma hydroxybutyric acid, commonly known as GHB.
Officers also allege the Kia had been reported stolen from a Hawthorne property on 17 February.
The man has been charged with multiple offences including entering a dwelling and committing an indictable offence, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle while adversely affected, and endangering a police officer when driving a motor vehicle.
Additional charges include damaging an emergency vehicle when operating a motor vehicle, three counts of serious assault of a police officer, possessing dangerous drugs, and unlicensed driving.
The accused has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on 23 March.
