Woman threatened to bite off garda’s nose

“I’ll bite your nose off,” was the threat made by a woman to a garda at the height of a disturbance.

Vanessa Sheehan, of 25 City View Mews, Banduff, Cork, pleaded guilty yesterday at Cork District Court to charges of being drunk and a source of danger, and engaging in threatening, abusive, or insulting words or behaviour.

Inspector Brian O’Donovan outlined the incident, which occurred on March 25. Gardaí responded to a call to the Courtown Park area that night because of a disturbance caused by Sheehan.
