Car thief jailed for running over a PC before ramming police van during high speed chase
A car thief who ran over a policeman in a desperate bid to escape arrest through Black Country streets has been jailed.
Kiya Longmore was spotted on a Tipton street during the Easter Holidays and refused to unlock his stolen Ford Focus doors when approached by police.
He then reversed at speed knocking down an officer and then ramming a police van before speeding off through residential streets at over 70mph.
The policeman sustained several injuries including bruised thighs, back and neck and the van was damaged too.
Longmore, 23, was jailed for 16 months at Wolverhampton Crown Court, sitting at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court, yesterday.
