Pregnant teen on 26th conviction
A pregnant teenage girl with 26 previous convictions, who scraped a garda’s face and struggled so much that she had to be restrained and handcuffed, has been released on probation for six months.
The 17-year-old south Dublin girl had been found guilty at the Dublin Children’s Court of engaging in threatening and abusive behaviour under section six of the Public Order Act and being intoxicated to such an extent that she was a danger to herself and others.
