A man has been jailed for the assault of two gardaí during a drugs search in September 2019, following his appearance at Longford District Court before Christmas.
Fabrice Nguegoue, with an address at Richmond Court Hostel, Richmond Street, Longford, was also charged with obstructing gardaí and possession of cannabis.
On September 11, Gda Noelle Fahy and Gda John Hanley were on duty and observed Mr Nguegoue on Richmond Street. They informed him that he would be searched but Mr Nguegoue resisted and became violent.
The court had previously heard from the arresting gardaí who explained that Gda Fahy had been struck in the neck, throat and chest, while Gda Hanley suffered an injury to his thumb and knuckles.
