A mindless driver high on cannabis ploughed into a wall after taking police on a dangerous pursuit through Sunderland.
Uninsured and with no licence, Johnny Watson clocked speeds on 70mph in 20mph zones, travelled on the wrong side of the road and the wrong way round a roundabout during the two-minute chase down residential streets. A court heard that, after crashing into a wall, the 20-year-old tried to flee the scene on foot but was detained by the pursuing officer nearby.
When spoken to, Watson admitted he'd taken cannabis but later refused to give a blood sample, stating he'd "already told them he'd "smoked green".
