Jailhouse rock nearly puts Elvis fan inside

A JAILHOUSE rock mobile-phone ring tone yesterday nearly led to an Elvis fan getting a sample of the real thing.

When his case was called at Limerick District court, his phone rang. Appearing a “bit under the weather”, his efforts to silence the King of Rock were met with difficulty, much to the amusement of many in the public gallery.

The Elvis interlude prompted Judge Gerard Haughton to issue a warning that defendants must turn up in court in a fit state or risk being put in jail.
