• Man admitted knife and criminal damage charges in Portlaoise Possession of a knife; criminal damage (to a garda van) · Co. Laois

  Slawomir Ignatowicz, a 54-year-old man, was highly intoxicated and threatening a woman at his home in Portlaoise, Laois, on 26 March 2022, and walked to the front door carrying a large fillet knife. While being arrested, he tried to bite and headbutt gardai and spat blood on the floor and seat of the Garda van. He was charged with possession of a knife and criminal damage to a garda van. In February 2023 at Portlaoise Court, he admitted both charges. Judge Cody adjourned the case to 21 September 2023, ordered a probation report, and warned of six months in custody on each charge if he fails to address his issues.
