Cases
latest first- Stokes's cocaine and driving sentence suspended on appeal in Dublin Possession of cocaine · Co. Dublin
Anthony Stokes, a 36-year-old man and former Republic of Ireland footballer, was arrested in Dublin on 6 January 2023 after leading gardaí on a high-speed pursuit at speeds up to 160 km/h while over the alcohol limit, during which €3,700 worth of cocaine was recovered from his car. He was charged with cocaine possession and sale, four counts of dangerous driving, drink driving, and other motoring offences, and also pleaded guilty to possessing 86 street tablets in Cabinteely. After the cocaine charges were struck out in January 2024 due to delays in drug analysis and recharged in July 2024, Stokes pleaded guilty at Dublin District Court in September 2024 and was sentenced to 15 months in prison on 8 October 2024. On 14 November 2024, Judge Jonathan Dunphy suspended the sentence in full on appeal, imposing probation and 240 hours of community service while retaining the five-year driving ban.
