PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A teenager already wanted for a felony is now being held on a large bail in Lincoln County after twice ramming a police cruiser before crashing into parked cars at an Elks Lodge in Newport.
A Lincoln County deputy spotted the teen, Jordan Markus Glickert, passed out in a car in Patterson State Park around 5 a.m. Sunday, officials said. But Glickert took off and sped north on Highway 101.

Officer caught him quickly and arrested the 18-year-old.
Along with the felony warrant for failing to appear on a meth charge, Glickert now faces charges of attempting to elude, reckless driving, meth possession, hit-and-run, 3rd-degree attempted assault, resisting arrest, criminal mischief and DUII. His bail was set at $367,500.
