Rascal rides on convertible and gets put away (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imprisoned

'put away' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rascal rides on convertible' is the wordplay.
'rascal' becomes 'imp' (synonyms).
'convertible' is an anagram indicator.
'rides'+'on'='rideson'
'rideson' with letters rearranged gives 'risoned'.
'imp'+'risoned'='IMPRISONED'

'and gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for imprisoned that I've seen before include "in jail" , "behind bars" , "Locked up" , "Put away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
