Kent Police had chased Miller along Folkestone Road at around 8pm on Tuesday, May 8, when he failed to stop in his car in Dover.

He was eventually brought to a halt by two police stingers before officers chased him and foot and caught him.

As he was arrested at the scene he pulled a knuckle duster from his pocket.

His car was searched and officers found ecstasy and cannabis plus a knife, scales and other drugs paraphernalia.

Miller was charged with dangerous driving, driving without insurance or a licence and possession of a knuckle duster.

He was also charged with two counts of possession of class A and class B drugs and possession of a police extendable baton also found in his car.

Miller, 27, of London Road, Dover, pleaded guilty to all charges at Canterbury Crown Court.
