  On 15 December 2019, Garda Mark Cullinane stopped Finbar McCarthy, a 30-year-old man from Cabra Bridge, Thurles, in the Commons, Cabra Road, Thurles, where he found a modified table leg and drugs worth €50 in his possession. McCarthy was charged with possession of an offensive weapon, unlawful possession of amphetamines, no insurance, and no driving licence. At Thurles District Court in February 2022, Judge Elizabeth MacGrath dismissed the offensive weapon charge, finding the prosecution had not shown intent to cause injury. McCarthy was fined €150, given a suspended prison sentence of three months, ordered to destroy the drugs, and disqualified from driving for four years.
