latest first- Man jailed over cocaine found in Nenagh fire station locker Possession of cocaine; possession of cocaine for sale or supply · Co. Tipperary
Cocaine worth an estimated €78,000 was found in a lunch box divided into 39 individually wrapped bags in a work locker at Nenagh Fire Station on 17 January 2018. Michael Morgan, a 43-year-old firefighter, and John Walsh, a 36-year-old plasterer and dog breeder, were both arrested and charged with possession of cocaine, possession for sale or supply, and simple possession. At trial in Nenagh Circuit Court in January and February 2023, a jury acquitted Morgan on all three charges and convicted Walsh of possession of cocaine and possession for sale or supply, while acquitting him of the charge of possessing cocaine worth €13,000 or more. Walsh was sentenced on 9 February 2023 to three years' imprisonment for sale or supply and a 12-month concurrent sentence for simple possession.
