Man jailed for ramming Garda cars after chase

Armed detectives fired shots during the hot pursuit of a violent sex offender who repeatedly rammed two Garda patrol cars when cornered in a Limerick city cul-de-sac.

Ian Bisette was eventually subdued after a uniformed garda dramatically managed to grab the ignition key from his car.

Bisette, aged 27 of York House, Longford Street Little, Dublin, was on the run and warrants were out for his arrest. At Limerick Circuit Court yesterday, Bisette pleaded guilty to charges of reckless endangerment of gardaí and to causing criminal damage to two patrol cars
