Drink driver gets three months’ jail

A CHRISTMAS DAY escapade of drink driving resulted in a motorist getting a three-month jail sentence yesterday.

William Faulkner, aged 40, of 23 Dunmore Gardens, Knocknaheeny, Cork, made no appearance at Cork District Court yesterday and the case which was listed for hearing was dealt with in his absence.

Garda Pat Lyons of Gurranabraher Garda Station testified yesterday that he was in a patrol car in the Hollyhill area when a motorist flagged down the car to tell them that he thought the driver of a blue Micra was highly intoxicated.
