Man shouted ‘silence’ when garda asked name

A belligerent man shouted “silence, silence, silence” into the face of a garda who asked for his name and later when gardaí were going through his pockets as part of a routine search he urinated in his pants.

The incident started when a woman in a dressing gown ran out on to Washington St in Cork City and flagged down a Garda patrol car claiming that her partner had attacked her.

Garda Donal Daly told Cork District Court that he and Garda Bryan Murphy got out and saw Remigiusz Walus, aged 44, coming out of 23 Washington St in a highly intoxicated condition.
