Officers on patrol in Bestwood spotted the vehicle, which had been reported stolen from the Long Eaton area of Derbyshire, at around 11.15am on Monday (27 March).
Despite officers activating their blue light the vehicle failed to stop and continued through a residential area at speed.
A police pursuit ensued before the car collided with a bollard and another vehicle in Hucknall Road.
Officers then pursued a suspect on foot before he was detained. During a search, officers found suspected Class A drugs.
James Clark, aged 32, of Honiton Road, Beeston, has been charged with aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving, failing to stop, possession of a Class A drug and driving without insurance.
