Third garda guilty of Waterford street assault

A THIRD garda was yesterday found guilty of an offence arising out of an assault on a man who resisted arrest after being caught urinating on the street last year.

Sergeant Martha McEn- ery of Waterford garda station was found guilty of assault but not guilty of assault causing harm to Anthony Holness at New Street in Waterford.

McEnery’s case was adjourned from Friday evening after a jury at Waterford Circuit Court was given more time to reach a verdict. Two of her colleagues were found guilty on Friday of charges which arose from the assault on January 29 of last year in Waterford, while another, Sergeant Alan Kissane, was acquitted.
