  At 2am on 1 May 2022, a male was arrested in Emmet Square, Birr, Offaly, for threatening and abusive behaviour, and woman Sasha Townsend, 20, was subsequently arrested in relation to the same incident. At Birr Garda Station, Townsend allegedly slapped a garda across the face and hit three gardaí with punches and kicks. She was charged with assaulting three gardaí, threatening, insulting and abusive behaviour, and failing to comply with a Garda's direction. Townsend pleaded guilty to all charges at Tullamore Court on 26 April 2023, and the judge adjourned sentencing to 19 July, requiring €1,000 to be paid to the Garda Benevolent Fund as a sign of remorse.
