He was sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on Thursday to three years and eight months in a young offenders' institution.PC Danny Wheeler, who investigated the incident, said: "Mooney’s actions were incredibly dangerous and directly led to the significant injuries to a man who was aged 90 at the time."We were able to identify Mooney as a result of forensic examination of the car and he was subsequently arrested and charged.
