DRUNK WOMAN TOLD GARDAÍ AT PUB: ‘COME ON *****, ARREST ME’

May 21, 2014

gavel1A WOMAN who got drunk at a well-known local pub after threatening staff told a Garda: “Come on to f*** you pr*** and arrest me.”

Staff at the Cavern Bar in Letterkenny had to call officers after refusing to serve more drink to Charlene Montgomery.

The 23-year-old from Ballinascadden, Coolboy, had become “an extreme danger to herself and others” said Inspector Goretti Sheridan at Letterkenny District Court.

Montgomery admitted using threatening and abusive behaviour and being drunk in a public place.

When Gardai arrived she had made the comments about being arrested, said the inspector.

Her solicitor Donagh Cleary said her behaviour on the night was “somewhat bizarre.”

He said his client had reacted to being spoken to in a derogatory manner by bar staff.

“She was mixing medication with alcohol and it had an unfortunate outcome for everyone,” said Mr Cleary.

“She has no previous convictions and is unlikely to be here again.”

Judge Paul Kelly ordered a probation report and payment of compensation for €200 worth of damage caused in the bar.
