Judge strikes out charges as warrant four years old

Anthony McMenamin was only arrested yesterday morning, although the warrant for failure to attend court was issued almost four years ago.

Donegal District Court was told McMenamin was well known in Letterkenny and had even been in court in the interim on other matters, but gardaí took no action on the warrant, which was issued in March 2004, related to an alleged drink-drive offence in August 2003.
