A Scots road menace has been jailed for leading police on a high-speed chase after driving his car at a cop and forcing him to dive out of its path.
A constable who tried to detain him had to jump out of the Astra’s way to avoid being knocked down while Slater also collided with a parked car. Slater reversed into a parked Skoda having spotted the officers, the court was told, causing damage to its front. One of the two officers, Pc Ross Dunn, got out and showed his warrant card as Slater tried to manoeuvre to escape.
Slater later travelled at 70mph in a 40mph zone and police had to abandon the pursuit to protect public safety, Mr Miller added.Defence agent Chris McFarlane said Slater had so far spent 202 days on remand after being detained over the incident which took place on March 14.
