Marshall also admitted driving a quad bike whilst disqualified and having no insurance for the vehicle, also on January 16.

His defence barrister, Stephen Constantine, asked for an adjournment so a report could be prepared.

Judge Chris Smith told Marshall, of Kilmory Walk, Hartlepool: “It’s going to touch on what on earth was going on earlier this year leading to this offending.”

The judge said he would get a “sizeable” discount off his eventual sentence on April 5 for pleading guilty.
