Wicklow man gets community service for assaulting garda
A Wicklow resident who hit a garda over the head with a glass bottle while another garda was trying to arrest his younger sister has today been given community service instead of a jail term.
Raymond Martin (aged 24), of Killarney Road, Bray pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assault causing harm to Garda Thomas Devereux and to being drunk in a public place on April 13, 2007.
