Mother has sentence suspended in garda attack case

A mother of two has received an 18-month suspended sentence from Judge Katherine Delahunt for her role in a violent attack on a garda who was trying to arrest a drinking companion.

Kelly Boyd (aged 21), of Marewood Crescent, Ballymun, pulled and dragged at Garda Ian Coyne as he was trying to arrest Dean Teeling, after a group of young people had been ordered to leave the Coultry Road where they were spotted drinking.
