A man accused of urinating in a garda cell, resulting in a cleaning bill of €170 has been handed a number of fines, with three months to pay.
William Lawrence, Cloncovid, Co Cavan, appeared before Judge Seamus Hughes at Longford District Court last week where he explained that he was unable to pay the €170 because he’d been in custody for a dangerous driving incident which resulted in a garda being hospitalised with a broken wrist.
“You put me on remand for three weeks and I had to pay €1,000 bail but while I was in custody my money stopped,” Mr Lawrence told Judge Hughes.
