Members of ASU were able to spot the vehicle from their plane and witnessed the truck stop near an apartment building at Avenue P and 33rd Street.
Police say two people from the stolen vehicle fled into the apartment. A 38-year-old man was found inside the laundry room.
He is facing charges of dangerous driving, evading police, obstruction and two counts of possession of stolen property. The man is expected to be seen by a justice of the peace Monday evening.
