(Des Moines, IA) -- One person is facing charges after a police chase ended with a crash inside Blank Park Zoo.
Police say just after 10:30 Monday night, officers tried to stop a car with no rear bumper or license plate. The driver took off, and officers later lost sight of the vehicle.
About 10 minutes later, police found the car abandoned after it crashed through a fence inside the zoo.
Investigators say the driver, 34-year-old Devin Overton, later attempted to report the car stolen.
He faces multiple charges, including eluding law enforcement and driving while barred.
