What crime are "they" saying he will be charged with? Can he be charged with aggravated assault? Yes, IF the police establish that he and the friend acted in concertin striking the police. Can he be charged with fleeing and attempting to elude? No, because he never left the scene. Can he be charged with drugs in his system? No. Good luck.
