Drunk causes €2,670 damage to taxi

A Portuguese national’s random act of drunkenness saw him climbing up on the roof of a taxi where he jumped up and down causing €2,670 in damage to the car.

He was jailed yesterday by Judge Olann Kelleher at Cork District Court for a period of four months.

Anderson Fernandez, who had an address at an apartment on Pope’s Quay, Cork, pleaded guilty to a charge of causing criminal damage to the car during an incident on June 6, 2015, in Cork City, as well as charges of being drunk and a source of danger.
