Ford punched the garda three times to the side of the head when officers tried to detain him after he admitted ownership of a knife found in his car and ran away. The case was heard at Wicklow Circuit Criminal Court, where Ford pleaded guilty on the day he was due to face a jury trial. He was sentenced to three years in prison, with the final 18 months suspended on conditions of engaging with the Probation Service and following drug treatment referrals. Garda Thompson was off sick for three months and continued to suffer dizziness, headaches and panic attacks after the assault.
