Change of heart on jail time

A TEENAGER who stole a car told a judge he didn’t want to bother dealing with the probation service and would go to jail instead, but after a few days behind bars the young man had a change of heart.

Vincent Morey, 18, of 8 Ashmount, Silversprings, Cork, was back before Cork District Court yesterday for stealing the car and a separate public order incident where the arresting garda had to use incapacitating spray on Morey.

Morey’s solicitor, Michael Quinlan, said that after a few days in prison the defendant did not want to go back there.
