A grandmother has been spared jail for lying to GSOC after she posted a lewd Valentine’s card containing a G-string and a bullet to a detective in the Garda "cold case" unit.

Phone records show a Dublin woman was in contact with a detective garda when she allegedly posted a Valentines card containing a g-string and a bullet to one of the officer’s colleagues, a court has heard.

A woman admitted posting a lewd Valentine’s card and a G-string to a detective garda but denied mailing him a bullet or acting on behalf of his colleagues.
