Garda faces extra charges including cocaine possession

A garda before the courts on seven counts of disclosing information obtained in the course of her duties was further charged yesterday under the Data Protection Act.

Garda Jimell Henry, aged 34, of Cairns Hill, Sligo, who is now facing 15 charges, including one of possession of cocaine, has been remanded on continuing bail until June 23, when she will be served with the Book of Evidence.

Det Inspector Jim Delaney told Sligo District Court that when he put further charges to the defendant before yesterday’s court sitting she responded “no reply” to each count.
