A drunk man who was detained after swearing at officers before driving dangerously through the streets of Doncaster has been sentenced.

Response officers were conducting proactive vehicle stops in Doncaster city centre around 5am on 29 March when they approached a white Ford Transit van being driven by Jake Horne.

Following a spate of van thefts in the area, officers approached the vehicle to check its documents. However, when they went up to Horne he told them to "f*** off".

Horne then led officers on a dangerous pursuit in which he went the wrong way down one-way streets, drove through a red light, drove on the wrong side of the road and broke the speed limit.

A careful pursuit by officers saw them keep Horne in their sights and when he entered a cul-de-sac in Balby, he had nowhere to go and was subsequently arrested.

Horne later admitted to officers at the scene that he had been "drinking ale" and he failed a roadside breath test after blowing 98, with the legal limit being 35.

Further checks by officer revealed that Horne had no insurance and no licence to drive the vehicle he was behind the wheel of.
