27-year-old spared jail after police chase

    A man who led officers on a police chase has been spared an immediate jail sentence.

    The incident which took place in November last year, saw Jamie Stone reaching a speed of 36 miles per hour when he was caught by police officers in a marked patrol car.

     

    Stone, of Alma Street, Windhill, Shipley, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, possession of cocaine, failing to provide a specimen and driving without a licence or insurance.

     

    He was arrested after abandoning the car and fleeing on foot.

    He had two small bags of cocaine on him and refused to provide a specimen of blood for analysis.

    Judge Robert Bartfield jailed the 27-year-old for eight months, suspended for 12 months, with a probation service rehabilitation activity requirement. He was banned from driving for two years.
