Stolen car driver gives false name then hurts police officer in cemetery

A man from Warrington who stole a car and injured an officer while in the vehicle has been jailed.

Paul Henry, 34, of Rushton Close in Burtonwood and Westbrook was parked in the stolen car on Fox Covert cemetery in Warrington when he was stopped by a police constable on Wednesday, August 24.

The 34-year-old attempted to drive off from the officer who was speaking to him through the driver’s side window, and when the officer opened the driver's side door, Henry revved the engine and reversed the car, causing the door to scrape the officer’s arm.
