A high-fiving disqualified driver was left speechless after he was brought back to court and told he would be spending the night in custody after he had just been given chance to go straight.

Leon Adkins, aged 21 and from Bodmin Road, Plymouth, appeared at Plymouth Crown Court on Tuesday for a sentencing hearing after he previously admitted driving while disqualified, which put him in breach of a suspended sentence order made in February this year.

Prosecutor Lewis Aldous told the court that on May 30 police were made aware that Adkins may have committed an offence in a vehicle at a set of traffic lights. Officers found the car parked up in Bodmin Road, in a parking spot and with the car lights on.

Mr Aldous explained that Adkins ran from the vehicle but was arrested the following day.
