A Devon man could face a custodial sentence for riding a mini-motorbike with a toddler on board.
Dean Clarke, of Taunton Avenue, Whitleigh, Plymouth, was finally stopped by two neighbourhood beat managers after a police chase.
The 20-year-old pleaded guilty to motoring and child cruelty offences. He will be sentenced on 2 May.
A police spokesman said: “He did not really have an alternative. He was caught red-handed.”
Magistrates have ordered pre-sentence reports and warned Clarke all options, including a custodial sentence, were being kept open.
