O’Shaughnessy admitted dangerous driving and acting in breach of three suspended prison sentences, the first imposed at Norwich Crown Court in October 2018 for possession with intent to supply heroin and cocaine. The second was imposed by Chelmsford Crown Court in October 2019 for possession of cannabis and possession of a firearm. On the third occasion, in March last year, O’Shaughnessy was spared prison for affray, possession of an offensive weapon and possession of cocaine. At the time, Judge Patricia Lynch QC warned him: “Make sure you do not come back to court again or you will be going to custody.”
