US judge recognises old school friend in dock

Standing in the dock, Arthur Booth, who was arrested after he was chased in a car by police, broke down in tears when he recognised his former class-mate.

“I’m sorry to see you here,” said Judge Mindy Glazer. “I always wondered what happened to you.”

Judge Glazer set Mr Booth’s bond at $43,000 (£27,500).
