• Man sentenced for false imprisonment in Dublin False imprisonment · Co. Dublin

  On 29 March 2022, Anthony Yankson, a 37-year-old man, barricaded himself and his former wife, a woman in her 30s, in a top-floor apartment on Sherrard Street, Dublin city centre, holding her at knife point with a large domestic knife. Gardaí were informed shortly after 12pm and armed officers, supported by negotiators, intervened at around 4:10pm to disarm and arrest Yankson under the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, 1997. He later pleaded guilty to a single count of false imprisonment at the Circuit Criminal Court, with a further charge of production of an article taken into consideration. Yankson was sentenced to prison, with reports giving either two years or four years with the final two suspended.
