Michael Stevens went on a three-day crime spree that included dangerous driving, a 'revenge attack,' and threatening people with a baseball bat.
A thug with a tattoo of a sword under his eye has been jailed following a violent rampage in public. The three-day crime spree began on July 26 when Michael Stevens began to argue with members of the public. The 35-year-old then drove his gold Mercedes AMG at speed up and down Market Street in Colen, Lancs, going the wrong way down a one-way system and towards the public. He then got out of his car and got involved in a fight.
Stevens continued his rampage the following day by visiting a property on North Street. Stevens carried out a 'revenge attack' where he began smashing the windows of vehicles and a house and threatened people by chasing them with a baseball bat. He then fled the scene and abandoned his damaged car. On July 28, Stevens visited Nelson Police Station to try and obtain his vehicle, but was arrested there and then. He subsequently pleaded guilty to using threatening/abusive/insulting words/behaviour to cause harassment/alarm/distress, dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified and without insurance, criminal damage and threatening a person with an offensive weapon in a public place. Stevens, formerly of North Street, Colne, but now of no fixed address, appeared at Burnley Crown Court earlier this month where he was jailed for 16 months and disqualified from driving for 20 months. Det Con Adam Rainsbury, of Burnley CID, said: 'I welcome this custodial sentence which shows that the courts will not tolerate the appalling behaviour Stevens engaged in earlier this year. 'The public of Colne were caused a great deal of distress by Stevens' actions whilst driving his car recklessly and dangerously along Market Street on July 26. His revenge attack the following day caused further upset and damage and was unacceptable.
