A fugitive who said he would rather go partying than hand himself in has been jailed after four months on the run.
George Ousley broke a suspended sentence within days of it starting and then told his probation officer he wanted to stay at large so he could ‘get drunk and party with my friends’.
He promised to hand himself in after Christmas and the New Year but did not do so and was only picked up by police over the weekend.
Ousley received a nine-month suspended sentence for dangerous driving on September 30 last year but was ordered back to court in November for breaking a curfew, which was part of the sentence.

Two owl-calling stations will be set up along the trails, where the calls of several owl species – such as saw whet, barred and great horned – will be projected into the woods to try and generate a response.
