Drug addict on crime spree threatened to kill boy, 13

A drug addict who threatened to shoot a 13-year-old schoolboy during a 20-minute crime spree while high on drugs has been jailed at Limerick Circuit Court.

Clyde Keogh, aged 20, of Ballyclough Avenue, Ballinacurra Weston, Limerick pleaded guilty to robbing and attempting to rob a number of young teenagers who were on their way to school on January 21. Yesterday, Limerick Circuit Court heard Keogh threatened to stab and shoot the children after he had stolen from them while he was on a drugs bender.

Keogh hit the headlines earlier this year when he threw a bottle of Coke at a district court judge after she refused him bail in the case.
