'I need a sh*t': Drunk Corkman defecated near garda and then tried to smear him with faeces

As garda approached accused's car, he went to his passenger door and took a bottle of whiskey, which he opened and attempted to drink, court heard

Accused was brought to Bandon Garda Station, where he was able to take a shower and was given clean clothes, court heard.

A man arrested for dangerous driving tried to take a swig from a bottle of whiskey before then saying he had to urgently go to the toilet, defecating and then trying to smear it on the garda.

James Healy, of Farran, Ring, Co Cork, who ended up naked in the incident near Timoleague last July, had “practically toxic” levels of alcohol in his system and apologised to gardaí for his actions, which included twice trying to smear the arresting officer with faeces.
