Lauren had taken cocktail of drink and medicines

The niece of fashion icon Ralph Lauren has walked free from court over an air rage incident on board a transatlantic flight.

At Ennis District Court, Judge Patrick Durcan declined the option of imposing a maximum four-month jail sentence on Jenny Lauren for two offences.

The case was first heard on Tuesday at Killaloe District Court, which was held in the Brian Boru pub, but the judge said it was not appropriate for it to be dealt with in Killaloe.
