Derbyshire Police have used a viral marketing approach to highlight the consequences of dangerous driving, mocking a 28-year-old man who will remain behind bars through the upcoming launch of Grand Theft Auto 6. Jack Vickrage was sentenced to 14 months in prison following a high-speed pursuit, a term that ensures he will be in custody when the highly anticipated game is released.
The TikTok video, uploaded by Derbyshire Police, features dashcam footage of the pursuit edited with a Grand Theft Auto 6-style heads-up display (HUD). The clip is set to “Flower in a Hurricane” by Justice—a track released as a GTA 6 single on October 15, 2026—and references the game’s fictional setting of Vice City. The police caption explicitly stated that “now Jack’s in prison for release day,” noting that the man would miss the game’s launch in a few weeks.
Vickrage was sentenced at Derby Crown Court on October 27, 2026. According to reporting from The Spirit of Alfreton, his 14-month jail term includes 12 months for dangerous driving and an additional two months for the breach of a previous suspended sentence. His charges also included drug-driving, driving while disqualified, and possession of cannabis.
The court proceedings detailed a history of repeat offenses. While on bail for the initial high-speed chase, Vickrage was caught driving under the influence a second time. Upon his second arrest, he reportedly told officers that he “wanted to go to prison.” In addition to his custodial sentence, the court handed Vickrage a 28-month driving disqualification.
The police video’s timing coincides with the final promotional push for the Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score, which is scheduled for release on December 11, 2026. The soundtrack featured in the viral edit, “Flower in a Hurricane,” includes contributions from high-profile artists Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.
As noted by Derbyshire Live, the chase involved high speeds and an attempt to ram police vehicles before Vickrage was eventually apprehended. The use of social media trends to highlight criminal sentencing has become an increasingly common tactic for local law enforcement looking to reach younger demographics with road safety messaging.
