Heroin dealer sentenced to 6 months for drug driving

A heroin dealer who was jailed this month for a stash concealed in a teddy bear got another sentence for a drug driving crime yesterday .

Judge Olann Kelleher imposed a six-month jail term on John Murray and banned him from driving for six years at Cork District Court. Murray, aged 33, pleaded guilty to driving while under the influence of cannabis, dangerous driving, and related charges.

Det Garda Geraldine Daly and Garda Martin MacSweeney were on duty at Kilmore Rd, Knocknaheeny, Cork, when they saw the Renault car on the wrong side of the road driving directly at the unmarked Garda car.
