5. Blaine Gilby
Dangerous driver Blaine Gilby can look forward to Christmas behind bars after he was jailed for smashing a car through the front of a tanning salon – narrowly missing a teenage boy. Gilby, 31, left a trail of destruction as he drove his Volvo through the front of the Tan Solo shop in Sunderland in August this year. A 15-year-old boy, who was getting his hair cut at the time, was knocked out of his seat as a result of the smash and narrowly avoided serious injury. An incensed Gilby then brandished a metal pole and threatened a staff member inside the shop before fleeing the scene and abandoning his smashed-up vehicle. He continued to act aggressively when arrested by police and spat at an on-duty officer. Gilby, 31, of Hewitt Avenue, Sunderland, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, threatening another with an offensive weapon, assault on an emergency worker, damaging property and assault and was jailed for 14 months.
