A dangerous driver who "revelled in bad driving" and led police on a high-speed chase as he drove the wrong way down major Sunderland roads has been jailed for more than two years.
Connor Riddell, of Kelly Crescent in Sherburn, Durham, was sentenced at Newcastle Crown Court after pleading guilty to 11 charges, including eight driving offences.
The 23-year-old was charged with three counts of dangerous driving, five counts of driving while disqualified, possession of a controlled drug of Class B, handling stolen goods and taking a conveyance without authority.
