Disqualified driver from Donegal who gave fake name to garda jailed

When stopped by gardaí, the motorist told them his name was Pete Doherty. File photo.

A Donegal motorist gave a garda sergeant an incorrect name when he was stopped driving in Cork and it turned out he had 10 previous convictions for driving without insurance, and was a disqualified driver.

That was on July 24 at Meenane, Watergrasshill, County Cork, and at Cork District Court the driver, whose real name is Dean Wells, was sentenced to five months in jail.
