A driver rammed a police car before climbing into the back seat of his SUV and pretending someone else had been behind the wheel.
Gareth Curnow had led police on a high-speed chase through Swansea before ramming a police vehicle as he tried to flee. The 42-year-old crashed moments later then clambered into the back of the car he was driving and tried to con cops that the real driver had fled on foot.
The chase happened just weeks after the defendant had appeared in court after being found in a car with cocaine, a knife, and a knuckleduster. Sending Curnow to prison a judge told him he needed to ask himself what he was doing in life, and why he was "putting his mother through the indignity of having to come to court and seeing you in the dock".
