Cork man found guilty of having €32,000 of heroin claimed he was going to get papers for Chihuahua

A Cork man on trial for having €32,000 worth of heroin who claimed he had only gone to Limerick to get papers for his pet Chihuahua was found guilty yesterday.

The jury of seven women and five men at Cork Circuit Criminal Court took approximately two hours to reach their verdict.

Daniel Wyse, aged 32, from 35 Glenfields Park, Ballyvolane, Cork, denied charges of having heroin for sale or supply at Halfway, Crossroads, Rathduff, Co Cork, on February 15, when its street value exceeded €13,000. That charge puts Wyse at risk of a mandatory 10-year minimum sentence.
