In Glen Innes Local Court on Wednesday, Aaron John Faint, 33, appeared on charges of dangerous driving, speeding and fleeing police pursuit while under the influence of alcohol. He entered a guilty plea in February.

On February 7 at about 9.30pm, police were stopped at the Railway and Ferguson Street intersection when they saw Faint speeding by in his Holden Colorado, estimating his speed well over the speed limit of 50km/h.

Faint claims he was only doing 20km/h over the speed limit.

Police turned right, switching on their lights, and sped up to catch him, but Faint ignored them. The police pursuit began.

The young man maintained speed through a corner, and court documents describe a wild police chase as he narrowly missed a gutter, went onto the wrong side of the road and switched back to avoid the median strip on Macquarie Street.

Police turned on their sirens and considered a full pursuit when he pulled into his home address on the small side-street of Manns Lane.

He fled from police on foot, ignoring orders to stop. He ran inside his house from the back door which he slammed behind him. Police shoulder-charged it open. They finally caught up with him as he attempted to climb a colour bond fence.

He was handcuffed and arrested.

Police say Faint appeared drunk, smelled of alcohol, had glassy eyes and appeared unsteady on his feet. He later admitted to drinking a quarter of a bottle of scotch.

Asked why he didn't stop his car, he said he wanted to get his vehicle home.

He has also appeared on charges of resisting an officer in the execution of their duty and harassing an officer in the execution of their duty.

He is to be sentenced for all five charges on April 10 after taking part in the traffic offender's program. His bail has been continued.
