• Woman fined and banned from driving after cocaine drug-driving case in Laois Drug driving and failing to provide information · Co. Laois

  On 4 August 2022, a black VW Golf driven by Lauren Kelly, a 23-year-old woman, came towards a garda on the wrong side of the road around a bend at Mountmellick, Co Laois, and the garda had to mount the kerb to avoid it. Kelly was later stopped by gardaí, a roadside test was positive for cocaine, and she was arrested and taken to a garda station, where a blood sample was obtained. She was charged with drug driving and failing to provide information, and her case was heard in her absence. The latest report, published on 25 March 2025, says she was fined €1,000 and disqualified from driving for four years, with the judge describing the cocaine reading as nine times the legal limit.
