Police dashcam footage during the chase. See SWNS story SWVAN; An alcoholic drug addict who tried to flee police in a terrifying five-mile drunken chase through a town has been jailed. Reckless Simon King was more than three and a half times over the drink limit when police tried to stop him for using his mobile phone at the wheel of a van. He did a U-turn then tore through 20mph zones at up to 60mph, ignoring traffic lights and swerving on the wrong side of roundabouts in busy traffic.Police who filmed the pursuit though Bristol on their dashcam finally boxed him in and arrested him and he was also found with cocaine in his possession. King, 36, was freed on bail - and was caught drink-driving just two months later when he was twice over the limit.
