A drug dealer who tried to murder a police officer made £241,600 from his criminal enterprise.
But the 49-year-old crook mowed down PC Neil Kerr with his Mercedes has been ordered to hand over just £1,600 of his ill-gotten gains.
Zeng Xing Yu ploughed into PC Neil Kerr, 37, in a lane in Glasgow's West End on July 21 2020.
Mobile phone footage caught Yu driving at the officer as colleagues swooped on a cannabis deal.
Yu was jailed at the High Court in Paisley last year, having earlier been convicted of attempted murder and being concerned in the supply of cannabis.
Judge Fiona Tait sentenced him to 10 years for trying to kill the officer, with three years added for the drug offence.
On Monday, prosecutors used proceeds of crime legislation to confiscate cash from Yu.
Advocate depute Dan Byrne told judge Lord Ericht that he and defence lawyer Iain Paterson had agreed that the accused’s benefit from his life of crime amounted to £241,600. But the lawyers agreed that Yu only had £1,600 available at this point in time.
At earlier proceedings, Yu’s co-accused Wang Wen, 30, admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis and was locked up for 50 months.
The court heard plainclothes officers in three unmarked police cars were in the area based on intelligence that a 'drugs transaction' was taking place.
PC Kerr used his vehicle to box in a Mercedes driven by Yu on Devonshire Gardens Lane. Two colleagues approached Yu's car stating that they were officers.
PC Kerr stood in front of the Mercedes which suddenly 'came towards' him.
Recalling the impact, he said: "I managed to get a slight jump on the car and put both hands on it.
"I hit my head and shoulder off the windscreen of the car. I was on the bonnet for a few seconds, I felt myself propelling in the air and hitting the cobbles on the ground.
"My head and left shoulder smashed against the ground. I thought I was going to die."
PC Kerr suffered a head wound and leg injuries and was off work for more than two months.
Yu lodged a special defence of self-defence, claiming he believed he was under attack by armed men.
On Monday, Lord Ericht gave Yu six months to hand the sum over - prosecutors can return to court if they find more of Yu’s ill gotten gains.
