    On the evening of July 21, 2021, Garda Fiachra O'Hara went alone to answer reports of a public order incident at the Supervalu Car Park in Bundoran, Donegal. John Martin Ward, 40, tried to pull the keys from the patrol car and grabbed and twisted the garda's thumb.

In December 2023, Judge John Aylmer sentenced Ward to 24 months with the final nine months suspended, meaning 15 months in custody, conditional on abstaining from alcohol for 18 months and engaging with probation services and addiction counselling.
