A man who was allegedly involved in a high-speed chase with police on Monday was on bail for alleged drug trafficking and sex with a minor, a court has heard.
Josef Zammit, 29, of Żabbar, was arraigned on Tuesday morning and charged with a series of offences including from resisting arrest and being violent with a number of police officers.
He was also charged with damaging third party property, dangerous driving, being in possession of a cannabis plant, and having violated the conditions of bail granted last year.
Prosecuting officer inspector Mark Anthony Mercieca of the police Drug Squad told the court presided by Magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech that the police had received a tip-off that Zammit was trafficking drugs.
