A drug dealer has been jailed after he escaped police whilst connected to a drip in hospital.
Paul Johnson was being investigated by Greater Manchester Police after taking control of a national cocaine supply operation.
He fled Stepping Hill Hospital in his underwear with an intravenous drip still attached, after he realised officers were closing in. Days later he handed himself in at Cheadle Heath Police Station.
Johnson, 42, was sentenced to nine years and two months at Manchester Crown Court.
