Man Jailed for Hitting Cop with Stolen Car

0:00A 23-year-old man named Louis Mackey just got hit with a three-year, four-month jail sentence for slamming into a police officer with a stolen car in Edinburgh. It all went down on December 6, 2024, on Dumbreadin Gardens when cops tried to pull over the vehicle, but Mackey kept going and struck the officer before ditching the ride. The officer ended up in the hospital for checks, but got released soon after. No long-term issues reported, while police made it clear these attacks on. Folks just doing their job won't fly. At the high court in Inverness this week, the judge tacked on a 52-month driving ban, a lifetime non-harassment order against the officer, and a 12-month supervised release once he's out. Sentence back dated to September 21, 2025, sending a strong message that harming those who protect us comes with real. Consequences every time.
