Jailed for attack on Funky Skunk

A middle-aged man took exception to the nature of the herbal substances being sold in The Funky Skunk shop in Cork and smashed five windows using an iron bar — and then handed himself in at Bridewell Garda Station.

Christopher Boyle, aged 54, with an address at Lower Grattan Hill, Cork, pleaded guilty to causing €600 worth of criminal damage at the premises on August 25.

Boyle said through solicitor Eddie Burke that he was not saying the herbal material was illegal but he did not want it being prepared in another house. He was concerned about the material being prepared in a particular domestic setting with which he was connected.
