Brookfield PD/Waukesha County Sheriff's Department

BROOKFIELD, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A Milwaukee man is facing a slew of charges in connection to a drug bust in Brookfield. 

Nineteen-year-old Alex Cook-Bey is charged with possession of cocaine, THC, and drug paraphernalia and maintaining a place of drug trafficking. He's also now facing five counts of recklessly endangering safety after prosecutors say he attempted to escape police.

According to court documents, Brookfield police officers coordinated an undercover drug deal with Cook-Bey back on Sept. 10 after identifying him as a crack cocaine and heroin dealer. 

Drone footage captures the moment several squads swarmed the suspect's car in the parking lot of the Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield hotel. 

Cook-Bey tried to escape, according to the criminal complaint, prompting a pursuit and ramming into multiple squad cars in the process -- but eventually, the officers were able to close him in, leading to his arrest. 

Cook-Bey is due back in court Sept. 28.
