A syringe was produced by a woman who threatened to ‘stick’ a security man at a shopping centre when he approached her and now a judge has said the crime was too serious to avoid a jail term.

22-year-old Iarija Aleksandrova of Mount St. Joseph’s Close, Bakers Road, Gurranabraher, Cork, pleaded guilty at Cork District Court.
