A man is facing a number of charges after leading Syracuse police on a car chase through the city yesterday afternoon.

Police say Haynes stole four library books, all about the Jewish faith, from Bird Library on the SU campus.

An officer then saw Haynes’ car go through a stop sign near Thornden Park, and tried to pull him over.

Officers say Haynes took off, apparently because he thought they were pulling him over for the books - not the traffic infraction.

Police decided to stop pursuing him when they thought the chase was getting too dangerous.
It ended when Haynes tried to ditch his car near Elm Wood Park and police caught up with him on foot.

He's now facing charges of reckless driving and numerous other traffic violations.
