Drink driver to garda: ‘I know where you live’

Don Kelleher, 33, of 2 Orchard Mews, Blackrock, Cork, was sentenced to five months in jail yesterday for resisting Garda David Noonan on July 25, 2014. He was also banned from driving for 15 years.

Defence solicitor Shane Collins-Daly said the defendant acknowledged that he had a litany of previous convictions but he said he had not come to the attention of the gardaí since this incident one-and-a-half years ago.
