Cork man who posted videos to girlfriend during rampage jailed and banned from driving for life

Court hears man was disqualified from driving for 59 years at the time he rammed garda car

The man was sentenced at Cork Circuit Criminal Court to five years in prison with the last year suspended.

 A Bandon man rammed a garda car at a checkpoint and then drove dangerously until he was involved in a head-on-collision with another car after a ten-kilometre rampage which he partly filmed, posting videos to his girlfriend as he drove.

Judge Sinead Behan said in the course of sentencing Charlie Milner at Cork Circuit Criminal Court: “What is really worrying is that you drove at a garda who was trying to protect the public. He was doing his job trying to protect the people of Cork and he could have been killed.
