It will be further alleged that the RAV4 driven by Burdon rammed a police car while trying to escape from the property. No officers were injured.
He was arrested at the scene, and was taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
He will face numerous charges including escaping lawful custody and multiple traffic offences.
