On 17 February 2024, John Baxter, 29, of Callanagh, Kilcogy, Co Cavan, reversed at high speed into a stationary Garda patrol car at the Pound Street and Ballymahon Street junction in Edgeworthstown, Longford, injuring the driver, Garda Karl McNabola. The patrol car's grill was damaged and the engine cut out, disabling the vehicle. Baxter was originally charged with assaulting a Garda and causing him harm, driving without insurance, driving without a licence, and endangerment. He pleaded guilty to endangerment in May 2025 and the state withdrew the remaining three counts. On 3 June 2025, Longford Circuit Court sentenced him to three years in prison, with the final nine months suspended for two years, to run concurrently with a sentence he is already serving.
