Disqualified Telford driver found with loaded handgun in his car after speeding away from police is jailed
A disqualified driver found to be in possession of a loaded pistol and ammunition after he attempted to speed away from police, has been jailed for seven years.
Endean Palmer of Hammer Fields, Woodside in Telford, was spotted behind the wheel of a car in the town by police officers on May 13 last year.
A trial had heard that when police began pursuit of the 34-year-old, Palmer drove off at “significant speed”, driving dangerously around the streets of Telford, before hitting two cars.
A jury had been told that the father of two had even tried to hide his car behind a van in a pub car park in the hope police would not spot him.
