• Longford woman receives Probation Act for assaulting three Gardaí Assault on Gardaí · Co. Longford

  On 14 August 2022, Gardaí responded to a domestic incident at the home of 28-year-old woman Natalia Grochowska in Kenagh, Co Longford, where she allegedly kicked, bit, spat at and pulled the ponytail of Garda Morag Patterson, bit Garda Vincent O'Leary on the hand, and slapped and kicked Garda Daryl Gilmore at the station. She was charged with assaulting three Gardaí while intoxicated and resisting arrest. Longford District Court refused jurisdiction in June 2023, and at Longford Circuit Court in October 2023 she pleaded guilty and the case was adjourned 12 months for compensation and a probation report. In January 2025, after paying €5,000 in compensation, she received the benefit of the Probation Act with an undertaking to abstain from alcohol.
