    On 30 April 2020, Garda Paul Hogan stopped Guntis Berzlaps in a silver Mercedes on Mitchel Street, Thurles, after detecting a strong smell of intoxicating liquor and forming the opinion he was incapable of properly controlling the vehicle. The driver was abusive, walked away, and refused to engage before driving into Butler Court. He was taken to Templemore Garda Station and charged with refusing to give breath samples and driving without a licence or insurance. In February 2022, Judge Elizabeth MacGrath convicted him and issued a bench warrant for his arrest to finalise sentencing. He has nine previous convictions including an active suspended sentence.
