Corkman has phone confiscated after taking Snapchat photos during court appearance

He is accused of demanding payment of an alleged drugs debt either by a cash payment of €6,000 or the handing over of a Ford Fiesta.

Before the hearing could begin, it was brought to the attention of Judge Olann Kelleher that the accused was taking Snapchat images of himself in court.

A man accused of collecting a €6,000 drugs debt with menaces was caught yesterday taking photographs on his mobile phone during his appearance at Cork District Court.

23-year-old Corey O’Brien of Rockboro Heights, Waterpark, Carrigaline, County Cork, was formally served with a book of evidence by Detective Garda Ian Breen yesterday.
