A man has been sent to prison for three years and two months after he ran over a police officer in Harrogate.
Llewellyn Mitcham, 30, was sentenced today at York Crown Court after pleading guilty to dangerous driving.
On March 16, police spotted a car on Bewerley Road in Harrogate that they believed belonged to a drug dealer.
They followed the car into a car park and then left their police vehicle to speak to the suspects.
Mitcham, of Harold Place in Leeds, drove off as the officers approached and hit PC Lister, throwing him into the air.
As a result of the impact, PC Lister suffered a severe fracture to his knee, which he is still recovering from two months later.
