Aggressor was 'jumping around the middle of the road' after Bandon incident on morning of New Year's Day

Judge McNulty said he considered the offences to be very serious, remarking that it was the third time the Bandon man would be convicted of obstructing gardaí.

A man who had to be pepper-sprayed by gardaí who he had earlier called a "pig bastard" has received a jail sentence.
