AN 'EXEMPLARY' soldier was hauled before a judge after being caught out telling 'repeated lies!
Rhys Gooding, 32, a corporal who has served in the British Army for 14 years, crashed his car during an incident in Rochdale.
He fled the scene, and later called the police to claim his vehicle had been stolen. It was only months later and after 'repeated lies' that the truth came out. Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard that police became suspicious and tested the airbag of the car for DNA, implicating Gooding.
He confessed when confronted by officers about the finding. Gooding, who has served on several tours overseas including in Afghanistan, faced a possible jail sentence after pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice.
