Cork man threatened to rape garda's mother

Man, who has now been jailed for over eight months, also spat at gardaí during highly abusive incident.

Judge Colm Roberts said: 'Gardaí should not have to put up with outrageous and disgusting behaviour like this. It is beyond anything that guards sign up for.'

A drunken man threatened a member of An Garda Síochána that he would rape both him and his mother and also called him “a dead pig.” 

Judge Colm Roberts said gardaí should not have to accept this sort of behaviour which he described as outrageous, disgusting, and nasty.
