A boyfriend was caught illegally driving his partner's car after he threw a Greggs sandwich from the window - directly in front of a police officer.
Uninsured Jamie Ogg, who had also never passed a driving test, had taken his girlfriend's car without her consent when he was spotted throwing the food from the vehicle. A passing constable witnessed the 37-year-old's littering and watched as he went on to flout a red light, a court was told.
Ogg, who has a past conviction for driving someone's car without their permission, was subsequently pulled over and found to be travelling in the white BMW illegally. He appeared at Newcastle Magistrates' Court this week to plead guilty to taking a vehicle without the owner's consent, driving without insurance and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
