A mum has been jailed after she dragged two police officers along the road when she drove off after giving them a false name.
Lauren Baird, 43, put the lives of the constables in danger when she fled at speed in Aviemore, Scotland.
Inverness Sheriff Court was told the officers challenged her about the inaccurate information she gave at 10.35pm on July 10, 2023.
Baird accelerated away and the two helpless victims were fortunate not to have gone under the car on the B9152 road between Kincraig and Rothiemurchus.
Sheriff Sara Matheson was shown dashcam footage of one officer detaching himself after a few feet and the other officer only managing to free herself several yards along the road.
She was left having to use crutches and has still not returned to duty.
