Det Insp Nick Gribben, of Police Scotland, said: “Fox was responsible for bringing fear and misery to local communities in Paisley.<\/p>\n
“The information obtained confirmed his direct involvement in organised crime. It illustrated he was the one orchestrating widescale drug supply and distribution. <\/p>\n
“He sought to profit from the misery of others. Perhaps he thought he was above the law, this sentence says otherwise.”<\/p>\n
In January this year, Fox was jailed for more than six years for killing Jim Paterson while driving under the influence of alcohol. <\/p>\n
He was driving at 91mph in a 30mph zone when hit the pedestrian on Bredilands Road in Paisley, Renfrewshire, at 02:00 on 27 November 2022. <\/p>\n
He was more than double the legal alcohol limit when he ignored pleas from his friends not to get behind the wheel of his Mercedes A45.<\/p>\n
Judge Lord Cubie said Fox had shown a “selfish disregard” for the laws of the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Det Insp Nick Gribben, of Police Scotland, said: “Fox was responsible for bringing fear and misery to local…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":721682,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-721681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=721681"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721681\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/721682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=721681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=721681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=721681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
