Show-off Leeds drug dealer filmed himself driving BMW at 90mph
The dad-of-three also led police on high-speed chase
A driver who fled police and narrowly avoided crashing into oncoming cars was later found to be dealing deadly drugs.
Shahed Miah was peddling cocaine and ketamine after officers finally caught up with him.
The 27-year-old, who has previous convictions for drugs and driving, was jailed at Leeds Crown Court this week.
Patrolling officers spotted the powerful white BMW 335 in the Osmondthorpe area of Leeds on the afternoon of May 14.
He accelerated away and overtook cars along Ings Road and Osmondthorpe Lane.
He ran a red light as he travelled towards Richardson Road and was “well in excess” of the 30mph limit, the court heard, as he narrowly missed oncoming vehicles.
Miah was arrested two days later after police attended his parent’s address, prosecutor Holly Clegg told the court.
He had two mobile phones containing thousands of messages related to drug dealing.
They also found footage on his phone that he had taken of him accelerating rapidly. The dashboard was visible that showed he reached up to 90mph.
Bags of cocaine worth £320 were also found at his address, along with £1,180 cash.
Miah, of Easterly Road, Gipton, appeared in court over a video link from HMP Leeds where he was being held on remand.
He admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine and ketamine and dealing in cocaine. He also admitted dangerous driving, having no licence and no insurance.
Mitigating, Lucy Brown said the dad-of-three pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and added: “He knows that’s his strongest mitigation.”
She added: “He wishes to apologise and realises he will pay a heavy price.”
She said he developed his own addiction and became involved in selling, but wants to make a “fresh start” once released.
The judge, Recorder Dapinder Singh KC, jailed him for four years and gave him a 42-month driving ban.
He must also take an extended test to get his licence back.
