MAN TO BE SENTENCED OVER HIGH SPEED JOY RIDE
A man will be sentenced over a high speed joy ride through Newcastle in a stolen Audi last year.
Darren Johns reached speeds of up to 161 km/h while behind the wheel of the $140,000 sports car.
The 44-year-old crossed onto the wrong side of the road around 30 times during the 25-minute drive from Merewether to Windale.
Johns pleaded guilty to a string of charges in Newcastle Local Court and will be sentenced next month.
