Josie Connor also threw a glass in a pub in a separate incident the following month
A driver who tried to speed away from police with a flat tyre has been jailed. Stingers had to be used to stop Josie Connor when she sped away from police and refused to slow down.
Roads policing officers were travelling through the Worksop area when they spotted Connor’s vehicle being driven without insurance – so asked her to pull over. After initially doing as she was told and stopping the car in Retford Road, the 32-year-old suddenly put her foot down as approaching police officers got out of their vehicle.
A police chase ensued for several minutes, with Connor continuing to drive dangerously and travel over the speed limit away from officers along the A1 in the direction of Retford. Stingers were subsequently deployed by police officers to try and bring Connor to a halt, which were successful only after the driver spent a few more minutes trying to make her escape on three wheels before eventually coming to a stop on the A1 just before Blyth.The incident happened on April 12 this year.
She was later charged with three counts of assaulting an emergency worker, dangerous driving, failing to stop, assault by beating, being drunk while in charge of a child, two counts of driving while disqualified, criminal damage, using threatening words or behaviour and driving without insurance. Having pleaded guilty to the charges, Connor, of Brough Lane, Retford, appeared at Nottingham Crown Court for sentencing on Wednesday, August 30.
“It is not simply part of a police officer’s job to be assaulted – this will never be tolerated by Nottinghamshire Police. We’re pleased to see that Connor has now been sentenced for her actions and we hope she uses her time in prison to revaluate how she’s living her life.”
