William Paterson, 35, threw the box of cocaine from a car window during the pursuit around the north of Glasgow on March 1 2023.
A personal trainer caught with a £900,000 drugs haul after a high speed police chase was jailed today for five years and four months.
Judge Lady Hood said: "You said you had financial worries which were exacerbated by your mental health and depression. You said you agreed for money to carry out this task for an acquaintance, realising it involved illegal substances. Prosecutor Alan Parfery said: "Paterson became aware of the officers and drove off. He did a U-turn, entered the central reservation then the wrong side of the road and drove off at speed towards Glasgow."
He was apprehended then taken to hospital and released without treatment. However, two of the officers involved suffered from suspected whiplash. The police vehicle was later written off.
