A 36-year-old man has appeared in court on suspicion of dangerous driving in Worcester and of lying to police at the scene of an 'incident'. 

Martin Johnson appeared at Worcester Magistrates Court on Thursday for driving a motor vehicle dangerously and perverting the course of public justice.

The prosecution case is that the 'dangerous driver' then lied to police after an A4440 Temeside Way police incident offering 'untruthful accounts' to officers at the scene. 

However, no pleas were entered at the morning hearing in court one by Johnson of Bowhill, Callow End, near Worcester. 

The dangerous driving is alleged to have taken place while Johnson was at the wheel of the VW Transporter on the A4440 Temeside Way and the A449 Malvern Road in Worcester on September 13 last year.

The second charge is that he committed an act or series of acts with intent to pervert the course of public justice on the same date.

The charge says he 'provided untruthful accounts to the police regarding a road traffic incident'.

Because perverting the course of justice is indictable only, magistrates declined jurisdiction for the case.

No indications of plea were taken at the hearing and Johnson, who wore a grey suit, spoke only to confirm his date of birth and address when asked to stand in the dock. 

Aleigh Adams, prosecuting, asked that both matters be sent to crown court. 

Johnson, who appeared via a postal requisition, was granted unconditional bail until the next hearing at Worcester Crown Court on Wednesday, August 30.
