BABY-FACED CRIMEWAVE

Joyrider gets 4 years’ jail for mowing down cop

A TEENAGE joyrider with more than 50 convictions has been given a four-year sentence for deliberately mowing down a police officer.

Baby-faced Kash Parkinson, 18, had been fleeing police on the wrong side of a dual carriageway at 70mph.

When an HGV blocked the thug’s path, PC Christopher Haxby got out of his car to approach Parkinson – who reversed and smashed into him using the open door of his stolen Ford Fiesta, a court heard.

It sent PC Haxby crashing on to the bonnet of the patrol car.

Judge Mark Savill told Parkinson: “Footage of the pursuit I’ve seen is truly chilling. That police officer could have been killed because of your selfishness.”

Just five weeks earlier, in May, the 5ft 2in yob had been released on bail by a court after being charged for stealing a Renault Scenic. The vehicle mounted the pavement, narrowly missing a child. Manchester Minshull Street crown court heard Parkinson, already banned from driving, committed his first offence at 11.

He went on to be convicted for crimes including assaulting police, robbery, vehicle theft and flouting court orders.

He flaunted his notoriety on Facebook with photos himself with an air rifle, a suspicious-looking cigarette and in a Rolls-royce. When Parkinson’s criminal record was read out, Judge Savill said: “That to me sums up this young man’s approach to life. He couldn’t care less.”

He told the yob on Tuesday: “You’re just 18 but have an appalling record.

“I know you have difficulties in your life but you’ve indicated a lack of remorse
