Woman threatened gardaí with dogs

A woman threatened to set her dogs on gardaí and she later attacked an officer by kicking him and scratching his neck with her nails until she drew blood.

Teri Mulcahy of Steam Packet Quay, Passage West, Co Cork, pleaded guilty yesterday to a charge of assault causing harm to Garda Joseph Halpin.

Inspector Bill Duane said gardaí responded to a call about a disturbance on October 29, 2014, at an apartment complex at Railway Street, Passage West.
