Jail term and ban for ramming Garda car

A motorist high on drugs who rammed a Garda car twice during an escapade of dangerous driving was banned from driving for 10 years and jailed for five years with the last two years suspended.

Kenneth Hornibrook, aged 37, of 3 Kilmore Rd, Knocknaheeeny, Cork, was sentenced by Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin yesterday after pleading guilty earlier in the week at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.

The judge said: “This was a highly dangerous escapade. The evidence is that you were so overdosed on drugs you did not even have a recollection of what happened.
