Swords man has sentence suspended after causing 'mayhem'

A Swords man who faced 12 charges arising out of "an unbelievable night of mayhem" but who made "great progress" in a drug treatment centre has been given a four year suspended sentence.

James Doyle (aged 20), drove a stolen car dangerously around a north Dublin city suburban area on September 13, 2006, crashing into an unoccupied parked car and causing other drivers to take evasive action, and then damaged a garda station cell before trying to escape custody while being treated at the Mater Hospital.
