Charges are being laid after a stolen vehicle struck a house in downtown Guelph over the weekend.
The Guelph Police Service was called to the area of Cork Street West and Norfolk Street around 2 a.m. Saturday.
Investigators say an SUV reported stolen from a home on Elizabeth Street struck a wooden patio before colliding with a second home.
They say the driver fled on foot but was apprehended a short time later.
Investigators say officers had trouble getting the driver to co-operate, as he refused to identify himself and resisted arrest.
They say the driver had a strong odour of alcohol and was unsteady on his feet.
A 27-year-old man from Guelph faces a number of charges, including impaired driving, obstructing police and possession of stolen property.
He is out after a bail hearing and will return to court on March 3.
The driver will be without his licence for 90 days.
