Dylan Lennon accused of threatening woman in Newbridge over drugs debt

Dylan Lennon, a 27-year-old man, is accused of threatening a woman in Newbridge, County Kildare, over €10,000 allegedly owed for drugs. The alleged threat was made on 5 September 2023, and gardaí say CCTV later identified him. He was charged at Naas District Court on 5 October 2023 and remanded in custody, and the DPP directed a trial on indictment. A book of evidence was then served, and Judge Desmond Zaidan sent the case forward for trial to the present sittings of Naas Circuit Criminal Court. The latest reported development is that a separate ketamine possession accusation from 2019 was adjourned to 8 November for hearing.
