Addict who drove wrong way on motorway in stolen vehicle gets three years

A Dublin drug addict who drove the wrong way on the M50 motorway in a Garda car chase last year has been jailed for three years at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Gardaí pursued Stewart Perrie (aged 35) of Achill Road, Ballybrack along the Ballymun exit of the M50 on November 7, 2007, when the owner of a stolen Jeep reported seeing it travelling that route.
