A drug addict who threatened to shoot a 13-year-old schoolboy during a 20-minute crime spree while high on drugs has been jailed at Limerick Circuit Court.

Three Limerick children were robbed by a man who threatened to shoot and stab them on their way to school.

A man who threw a bottle of Coke at a judge last week after she refused him bail yesterday apologised in court, telling the judge: “I lost the head”.
