Drug Dealer Crawls Through Gardens Evading Taser
17 Jul
Summary
- Drug dealer attempted to evade police by crawling through gardens.
- The chase was compared to the comedy film Hot Fuzz.
- Collier was sentenced to two years and two months in prison.
A 21-year-old drug dealer, Lewis Collier, has been sentenced to two years and two months in prison following a dramatic foot chase through multiple gardens in Reading, Berkshire. The pursuit began when police identified Collier's Audi A6 and initiated a stop. Collier then fled the vehicle, leading officers on a chase that spanned at least eight gardens.
The chase culminated with Collier appearing to crawl along a path as a Taser-armed officer apprehended him. Body-worn camera footage released by Thames Valley Police captured the events, with an officer humorously likening the situation to the comedy film "Hot Fuzz."
Collier pleaded guilty to several charges, including dangerous driving, intent to supply cannabis, possessing criminal property, criminal damage, driving without a license or insurance, and failing to stop after an accident. His sentence also includes time for breaching a previous suspended sentence.
