  John Morrow and Jamie Dowd appeared before Letterkenny District Court over an incident on 19 January 2025 at Lower Main Street, Letterkenny, where Morrow, described as highly intoxicated and aggressive, got into a physical altercation with gardaí during his arrest, and Dowd attempted to open a garda patrol van. Both men were charged with obstructing a peace officer under section 19(3) of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, 1994. Morrow's solicitor tendered a guilty plea on his behalf, and the judge said she was not impressed with his conduct. The judge ordered each man to make a €300 contribution to Donegal Hospice under the Probation Act, with a default conviction and €400 fine set for both.
