Tuesday, 23 July 2024 08:25

A banned biker who'd been drinking and fled police has admitted five offences.

26 year old Ashley Robert Gardner of Ronague Road in Castletown pleaded guilty to drink-driving, driving while disqualified, failing to stop for police, and having no driving licence or insurance on July 8.

The court heard police spotted his Honda CBF125 out of control at Cronk Y Thatcher in Colby - he rode away from officers who tried to stop him but was arrested after ditching the bike and trying to climb a wall.

He'll be sentenced on a date to be set.
