A former high-flying business director led police on a high speed chase while high on drugs.
Michael Heath, who was in a senior role with Samsung UK, went off the rails after having a breakdown due to his job, a court heard. He was spotted smoking a bong in his car in Newcastle city centre then tried to flee from officers, sparking a pursuit.
Newcastle Crown Court heard it was only brought to an end when police used a stinger device on his Mini and he was found to be more than three times the driving limit for cocaine.
