Woman jailed for Halloween assault

A mother of two was yesterday jailed for her role in a violent assault at an impromptu Halloween party sparked by the victim evicting three revellers engaging in a ‘threesome’.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Carroll Moran jailed Carrie Brigdale, aged 23, of 44 Mill House Flats, Mill Rd, Ennis, Co Clare, for two years after she pleaded guilty to assaulting Ugandan man, Collins Kato, at his apartment on Oct 31, 2010.

Brigdale also pleaded guilty to violent disorder.
