'Lunatic driver' who stole fuel and rammed police faces jail after admitting EIGHTEEN charges
A Telford man has admitted ramming into vehicles and crashing a JCB into a fence in incidents on three separate days earlier this summer.
One of the incidents involved Ryan Davies, aged 32, of Freeston Terrace, reversing a recovery truck with a car on it at 'high speed' into a car being driven by the truck's owner, who was following him on a slip road of the M54 motorway in June.
In another incident in July he rammed a police car in a vehicle he had taken five days before and had used to make off without paying for fuel.
On yet another day in June he took a JCB and drove it into gates and a barrier at TAFS building merchants in St George's, causing an unknown amount of damage.
Davies pleaded guilty on Thursday to a total of 18 charges relating to incidents on June 4, 12, 22, 25, and July 20, 21, and 25 this year.
Kidderminster Magistrates Court was told that he took a VW Passat on July 20 and damaged it in a crash.
The next day he made off in the Passat without paying for fuel, and on July 25 he used the same car to ram a police car in Lilyhurst Road, Telford.
