Mother in fear of son called gardaí when she heard him snoring outside house

The 33-year-old was arrested at his mother’s house on Sunday night.

A 33-year-old man’s snoring on Sunday night was enough to cause his mother to phone the gardaí to arrest him.

The man cannot be named because the snoring incident emerged in the context of an in-camera hearing at Cork District Court where he was at risk of being remanded in custody over the Christmas holidays.
