THE son of two retired Met police officers, who was controversially spared jail three times - once after killing two men in a drug-drive smash – is due in court again.

Max Coopey, 22, became infamous after he hit and killed salesmen John Shackley and Jason Imi as they were walking back to their hotel after a work night out. 

In 2019, he was spared jail over the incident, during which he had been driving his Met Sergeant father’s sports car, after a police investigation found he was not criminally liable for the deaths.

Last year, Coopey was fined after being convicted of stashing £1,000 of cannabis at his family’s £1million home in Ascot. District Judge Samuel Goozee told Coopey: “You are attempting to turn your life around”.

In February this year, he appeared back in court before Judge Goozee after being caught drug dealing and failing to take a drug test after being stopped by police when driving on July 22 last year.

For each offence, Coopey was spared jail time.

Now, the young man is due back in court next week after being charged with driving while disqualified.

It is alleged that Coopey, of The Burlings, Ascot, was caught driving a blue Fiat 500 on January 19 this year.

He is due in Reading Magistrates Court on Wednesday, November 1.
