Anthony McDermott was in control of an Audi A5 – with no front driver-side wheel – causing the vehicle’s axel to be exposed on October 10, on roads in Glasgow and Paisley.
A tanked-up Paisley man dangerously drove his motor at “excessive speed” before crashing into a bollard, a wall and a parked car.
The 40-year-old drove the wrong way down a one-way street and crashed with a stationary car, causing it damage, and then collided with a wall which was also damaged. McDermott, who also admitted he was “unfit to drive through drink or drugs” blasted his car through Glasgow’s Springfield Quay and Paisley Road West as well as Paisley’s Darvel Crescent.
When cops arrested the thug, he caused “fear or alarm” while en route to Helen Street police station by shouting, swearing, uttering threats of violence, uttering offensive comments and behaving in an aggressive manner. Procurator fiscal depute Karen Yuill made a motion for forfeiture of the vehicle. Defence agent Sam Anderson told the court the car was currently in McDermott’s driveway and wasn’t “drivable”.
