According to YourErie.com, the man started allegedly "screaming obscenities and getting aggressive," and had to be escorted out of the building by the police.

However, as he was departing the radio station's parking lot, he "put his car in reverse and backed up into another vehicle before putting the car in drive and fleeing state troopers," according to the arrest report. He sped off for about two miles before stopping and being apprehended.

He is facing charges of fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, accidents involving damage or unattended property, harassment, disorderly conduct and multiple traffic violations.

He was taken to Erie County Prison but has since been released.
