Corkman pays €1,500 compensation for trashing room at Metropole Hotel

The court heard Jonathan Healy 'violently resisted arrest, attempting to strike gardaí with his fists'

There was a large amount of damage at the Metropole Hotel room with 'broken chairs, smashed glass, a large amount of stains on the carpeting, and beds were in disarray.'

Staff at the Metropole Hotel in Cork alerted gardaí about a visitor trashing the room in which he was staying, a court has heard, and the guest has since paid €1,500 compensation for the damage he caused.

The matter which occurred in February last year has just come to light at Cork District Court where Jonathan Healy, 34, with an address at 25 Hazel Road, Togher, Cork, was prosecuted for causing criminal damage to a bedroom.
