A Stoke-on-Trent man who has been jailed for six months hid from police in a pile of dung.

Jake Hart, blessed with the name of a movie star and the lingering scent of poo, led police on a 90mph chase through the city after they tried to pull him over for having faulty brake lights. At points the unlicensed drunk driver whammed over speed bumps so quickly his £300 Peugeot left the ground.

But Days of Thunder turned to Nights of Shit when Hart abandoned his car and ran into a park, where police later found him lodged within a heap of manure.

Hart in his mind

Hart in reality

High on the thrill of the chase and ammonia, an exultant Hart told flat-footed rozzers, "I have got to try and get away. I nearly had you". Nearly! The stinking maniac was arrested, jailed and banned from roads for a year.
