Walter Scott Brangman, 46, of Loyal Hill, Devonshire, pleaded guilty to failing to stop for Police, driving without third party insurance, using an unlicensed vehicle, and using offensive words in a public place.

All the offences occurred at about 9 p.m. on January 4 when Police were conducting vehicle checks on Parsons Road.

Prosecuting, Police Sgt. Peter Giles said as Brangman's car approached the checkpoint, Police noticed his licence sticker was expired, and asked him to stop.

But Brangman sped off to the east on Parsons Road and led Police on a short chase before he stopped. He swore at the Police officers who pursued him, Sgt.

Giles said.

Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis fined Brangman $300 for not having third party insurance, and $100 for using offensive words.

Brangman had already paid fines for using an unlicensed vehicle and failing to stop for Police.
