    On 17 November 2018, Fionn Ponsonby, a 23-year-old man, was caught hiding in a bedroom at the home of Joe and Sandra McGonagle at Cullion, Letterkenny, after the family dog began barking. Ponsonby produced a penknife and tried to stab the homeowner in the arm before being arrested and taken to Letterkenny Garda station. He pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary at Letterkenny Circuit Court. In October 2023, Judge John Aylmer sentenced him to four years in prison, with the final 12 months suspended on conditions of engaging with probation and abstaining from alcohol and drugs, after a probation report was not favourable.
