Jordan Walmsley was hiding from police as he knew he was due to be recalled to prison
A man who was wanted by police for breaching the terms of his licence gave officers a fake name when they stopped him - but his real phone number.
He was spoken to and cocaine found in his possession was seized, but he gave a friend's name. As police believed that he had no previous convictions, they gave him a community resolution, meaning no charges filed, which if they had known his true identity would not have been granted.Later that day, Mr Baird contacted police to confirm his details had been used and that he had not been the person stopped, the ECHO reports.
Walmsley, of HMP Altcourse, was arrested and answered no comment to all questions. Following these offences and pleading guilty, Walmsley was due to appear incourt to be sentenced but did not attend, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Paul Wood, defending, said giving fake information was an “unplanned and unsophisticated” operation, and that Walmsley actually gave officers his own personal phone number. He also pointed out that when arrested the following day, Walmsley told officers “I lied to you yesterday”, and was hiding from them as he knew he was due to be recalled to prison after breaking conditions not to see his partner.
