Police said the 32-year-old driver of a blue Peugot hatchback failed to stop for police in Richardson when ordered to do so, about 1.20pm Monday.
The driver failed to negotiate a Goldstein Crescent intersection soon after, and the "car became undriveable".
He fled, and officers and their dogs gave chase.
Police dogs found the man a short time later, hiding in the backyard of a nearby residence.
He was arrested and charged with breach of bail, failing to stop for police, drug driving and aggravated reckless driving.
The 32-year-old is scheduled to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
