A man is behind bars after authorities say he tried to steal a Reno Police patrol car Tuesday night. 

Police say officers were conducting a traffic stop after 8:45 p.m., when they heard a disturbance behind the empty patrol car. 

Police say Enrico Flores ran to the patrol car and tried to drive away. Flores was arrested after he crashed into the car from the previous traffic stop. 

Flores was eventually arrested and booked into the Washoe County Jail on charges of grand theft auto, obstructing and resisting, among other charges.
