Revealed: The face drug dealer who hid in playhouse after high-speed police chase
This is the face of the drug dealer who tried to hide from officers in a Wendy House following a high-speed chase.
Evan Sutton, 25, from Cradley Heath, was sentenced to over four years in prison at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Friday, May 31.
In July last year the 25-year-old was seen by police in a stolen vehicle on cloned plates.
Sutton, who was already banned from driving, tried to flee from police by ignoring stop signs, taking a wrong turn and driving at 70mph towards pedestrians.
He then abandoned the vehicle on a member of the public's driveway before running away and attempting to hide in a family's playhouse. He was eventually discovered by a police dog handler.
Upon being discovered, he ran off again before being bitten by a West Midlands Police dog but managed to get away before being caught minutes later in another garden.
Following a search of the vehicle, the play house, and his person, officers discovered a quantity of cocaine and cannabis totalling up to £13,000, a machete and a zombie knife.
Sutton also had in his possession a knife and a stun gun designed to look like a torch.
Sutton pleaded guilty in September last year to possession with intent to supply class A and class B drugs, two counts of possession of a knife blade in a public place, possession of a weapon for the discharge of an electrical charge, dangerous driving and driving while disqualified.
He was given 45 months for possessing class A drugs with intent to supply, nine months for possession and intent to supply cannabis, three months for possessing two bladed articles, and nine months for possessing a prohibited weapon.
Sutton also received nine months for driving whilst banned. All sentences will run concurrently, Sutton was further banned from driving for two years and three months.
