Adrian Johnson has 145 offences to his name
A heavily convicted Nottingham criminal led police on a high-speed chase through busy residential streets during broad daylight on an uninsured off-road bike. During the pursuit through Sherwood, footage played at Nottingham Crown Court showed unlicensed Adrian Johnson jump a red light and cross a central reservation while topping 50mph.
And all of the offences put him in breach of a suspended sentence order, handed him for burglaries by the same judge who this week activated almost all of it in full. Jailing the defendant for a total of two years and five months, Judge James Sampson KC said: “You have an appalling record with over 140 criminal offences on your record and Miss Brasoveanu has said all she could possibly say on your behalf.“But as I have just graphically watched this was a bad case of dangerous driving.
Nicola Patten, prosecuting, played footage of the pursuit through Sherwood to the court. It showed the police pull alongside the off-road bike in Edwards Lane as the defendant stalled it. Once he got the bike engine going again he then sped off with the police in pursuit. Miss Patten said: “He then collides with a bollard and the officer is able to get out of the car with his baton raised and arrest him. But he is abusive and other officers are called to assist and he is placed in the back of a police car.
