According to the Manchester Evening News, an 18-year-old named Kash Parkinson "stretched and yawned loudly" as he was handed a four-year sentence at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court.

The teen—who had amassed 47 previous convictions for 77 crimes starting from the young age of 11—was given the sentence after running over a police officer during a chase in a stolen Ford Fiesta.

Dash-cam footage shows Parkinson plowing into Officer Christopher Haxby during a pursuit.

Judge Mark Savill said at the sentencing, "That police officer could have been killed because of your selfishness. It is a wonder how you didn’t kill or seriously injure a member of the public or a police officer."
