A drug dealer who tried to evade police in a high speed car chase almost hit a small child, a court has heard.
Stephen Hone, of Baffin Close, Leasowe, appeared in Liverpool Crown Court for one count of dangerous driving and one count of possession with intent to supply cocaine after he was involved in a high speed police chase. Paul Blasbury, prosecuting, explained that at around 1pm on September 1, 2021, an officer was driving a marked police car on Kings Street, Wallasey, when he spotted a man driving a Ford Mondeo which was only insured to a woman.
The officer signalled for the car to pull over, and the man got out and said “thanks very much”. However, as the officer began getting out of his car, the driver jumped back into the vehicle and sped off.
