A court has heard how a man had no saliva left in his mouth after repeatedly spitting inside the back of a patrol car following his arrest in Ballymahon last week.
Garda Keith O'Brien told last week's sitting of Longford District Court of how he had also been forced to record David O'Leary (32) 2 St Matthew's Park, Ballymahon, Co Longford making a series of threats to him and his family.
He said the tone and choice of words used by the accused went “far beyond” what he had previously experienced as a rank and file garda officer.
