Prison stint adds bite to police chase

A FORMER Bandido who led police on a high-speed chase across the Gold Coast before being bitten on the groin by a police dog will not be released from prison until September 27.

Police tracked a stolen gold Ford 2001 Laser across the Gold Coast on June 12, starting on Entertainment Dve, Oxenford, about 7.50pm.

It took road spikes, the police helicopter and the dog squad to finally stop Dean more than an hour later in Southport where he was driving on all four rims.

Dean, 33, pleaded guilty yesterday in the Southport Magistrates Court to dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, unlawful use of a motor vehicle and driving while on a disqualified licence.

Magistrate Louise Shepherd sentenced him to 18 months prison with a parole release date on September 27.
