latest first- Man sentenced for drink driving and assault on garda in Longford Drink driving; drug driving; assault on a garda; dangerous driving · Co. Longford
On 15 December 2021, Mark Donlon, a man of no fixed abode, was stopped by Gardaí Allan Doherty and Rachel Carlin at a checkpoint in Ballymahon, County Longford, after a car was reported driving dangerously from Mullingar. Donlon resisted arrest, swinging at, kicking and biting the officers, and a blood sample taken at Granard Garda Station returned a reading of 217mg per 100ml, four times over the legal limit, with cannabis also detected in his system. He was charged with assaulting both gardaí, six counts of dangerous driving, drink driving and drug driving. On 14 February 2023, Judge Bernadette Owens at Longford District Court handed down three-month concurrent prison sentences suspended for 18 months for the assault charges, fines totalling €500 for the drink and drug driving offences, €500 compensation, and a four-year driving ban. Donlon had no previous convictions and had spent a week in custody on the same charges before sentencing.
