Man flashed his backside and threatened garda wives with rape

A teenager put the middle finger of both hands up to gardaí and then threw stones at them, flashed his backside and threatened that he would rape their wives.

That was the scenario met by gardaí responding to a call from residents about a group of youths causing a disturbance in The Glen in Cork city.

Inspector Mary King described the background circumstances to the case at Cork District Court where 18-year-old PJ Meehan of 112 Comeragh Park, The Glen, pleaded guilty to two counts of engaging in threatening behaviour and one count of causing criminal damage to a Garda patrol car.
