ATLANTA — A motorist is facing charges after police say he crashed a car into a lobby at CNN Center, the news network’s headquarters in Atlanta.

Authorities say the car shattered a glass entryway before dawn Friday. It came to rest in the middle of the lobby.

Atlanta police officer John Chafee says the driver is being charged with driving under the influence, reckless driving and marijuana possession. Chafee said the driver, whose name wasn’t released, told police he had smoked marijuana earlier.

Chafee said there were no reported injuries.
