An e-bike rider whose goading of a police officer led to him quitting the service after 22 years has been locked up following another police chase, this time in a car.
Mason McGarry, 19, has been handed a 12-month sentence in a young offenders institute after he drove at 60mph in a 40mph zone before mounting the pavement and hitting a lorry while being pursued by police.
The teenager has 42 previous convictions for robbery, theft, burglary, dangerous driving, driving without insurance and assault of an emergency worker, a court heard.
In 2022 he was knocked off his scooter during a police chase, which led to the officer involved being hauled before a court only to be cleared by a jury.
PC Tim Bradshaw of Sussex police was acquitted of causing serious injury by dangerous driving after pursuing McGarry and friend Dominic Mizzi during an incident in Bognor Regis, West Sussex.
