​​Zachary Miller, 22, of Churchill Street, ​Warrnambool, pleaded guilty in the Warrnambool Magistrates Court to a string of charges.

​Those charges included  handling stolen goods, drug impaired driving, theft of a vehicle, driving in a dangerous manner and  two counts of evading police and driving while disqualified.

​He was jailed for ​12 months ​with a minimum ​six months ​to serve before being eligible for parole.

He has already spent 45 days in custody.

​Police said that on ​December 5 ​last year a ​dark green Holden​ Commodore ute ​was ​stolen from west Warrnambool​.

​​At ​10am ​on ​December 14 ​the ute was ​seen heading west on Fairfax Avenue, then west on Rongoa ​Drive.

​Police activated​ emergency​ lights and the ute turned right into Rooneys Road, on the wrong side of the traffic island, at more than 90km/h​.

​Police did not pursue the ute​.​

​The following day police attended at ​a ​Churchill Street ​address ​and ​found the ute.

Miller’s prison papers ​were in the vehicle and it was seized.

​At 4.30am on ​January 4 ​a black hatch with no number plates ​was ​travelling along Canterbury Road​.

Police attempted to intercept the vehicle but Miller sped off at more than 100km/h in the 60 zone​.​

Two days later Miller was found asleep ​near Port Campbell ​under the influence of drugs in a Toyota Landcruiser, which had been stolen in Geelong a couple of days earlier​.

​The vehicle had false plates​.

​It was seen by a witness ​earlier ​in the middle of Gribbles Road, Jancourt, and moved when tooted​.

Miller was taken to the Warrnambool police station and remanded in custody​.

​​He admitted twice evading police.

In September 2016 Miller was sentenced to serve 18 months in a youth justice centre as a first-time drug dealer.

​He ​pleaded guilty ​to two counts each of trafficking ice, possessing ice and negligently dealing in the proceeds of crime and single charges of trafficking cannabis, cultivating cannabis, possessing a weapon and three bail offences.
