Acting the "hard man" with a member of an Garda Síochána in the courthouse at Anglesea Street in Cork has just resulted in a young man being jailed for four months.

Ruben Stillwell, 24, with an address at Old Youghal Road, Cork, pleaded guilty to two charges arising out of the incident on that day.
