Dublin man threw small dog and paving slab at gardaí

A man who fired shots at a house after threatening to burn it down will be sentenced today for this and for making threats to two women and two gardaí.

Daniel Ennis, aged 20, threw a small dog and a paving slab in the direction of four gardaí who came to search his back garden in an effort to recover a stolen post bag. He tried to throw a bike at officers and threatened them with a shovel.

He also threatened to ram Gda Michelle Doyle’s patrol car and told her he would “make sure you are dead”.
