Teen forced to drive van over speed limit
Western Mail
|September 25, 2025
A MAN brandished a knife before forcing a teenager to drive a van at 100mph.
Brooklyn O’Brien, 26, was under the influence of cocaine when he forced the 19-year-old to drive at excessive speeds.
A judge said victim Ben Clooney must have been “terrified”.
She jailed O’Brien, of Chester Road, Oakenholt, Flintshire, for 10 months for threatening a person with a bladed article in a public place. He was also given a 10-month concurrent jail term for encouraging the commission of dangerous driving.
Prosecutor Emmalyne Downing told Mold Crown Court that Mr Clooney had been looking for work and saw an advert for a roofer on Facebook on April 13.
Mr Clooney spoke to a man and gave him his home address. They arranged for Mr Clooney to start work the next day.
