A criminal who set prison officers' cars alight at an Ayrshire prison and rammed police in a "terrifying" high speed chase has been jailed.
His motive never emerged as he denied all charges, including wilful fireraising, dangerous driving with no licence or insurance, failing to stop for police and resetting two stolen cars with false plates.In a police chase after the cars were set alight, officers struggled to keep up with the Ford Mondeo as it raced along Stewartfield Road in East Kilbride, the A749 Glasgow Road, East Kilbride Road and Greenlees Road in Cambuslang.
Docherty rammed a police car then drove the wrong way down a dual carriageway in the face of oncoming traffic. "The adrenalin was pumping," she said. "It was a stressful, lengthy car chase at high speed in the dark."
