CENTENNIAL, COLO. (AP) -- Arapahoe County investigators say a man intentionally rammed his vehicle into parked cars and tried to run over people in a Centennial neighborhood.

Sheriff's officials say 40-year-old Carlos A. Ayala faces charges of criminal mischief, menacing, resisting arrest and obstructing government operations. He's suspected of crashing into five vehicles, a wooden fence, and trying to run over four people.

The sheriff's office says Aurora police arrested Ayala. He was being held on $50,000 bail.
