Scott Hill and the damage he caused
A DRIVER smashed into two parked cars, leaving them write-offs, after leading police on a chase through residential streets at more than 90mph.
Scott Hill fled across gardens and into a house but was tracked by the police helicopter and arrested.
At Bolton Crown Court he asked to be jailed after telling Recorder Ciaran Rankin that he would be unable to comply with any community order.
Recorder Rankin obliged and 29-year-old Hill, who smiled and laughed as he was led from the dock, was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
Richard Haworth, prosecuting, told how the blue Vauxhall Corsa Hill was driving was spotted by police in Plodder Lane, Farnworth just before 3.30am on November 16 2019.
