Court hears Garda who was dragged 40 metres along road after motorist resisted having car seized




A court has heard that a man who refused to have his car taken resulted in a garda being dragged roughly 40 metres along a road, causing significant head injuries, reports The Mirror.

At a Naas Circuit Criminal Court session, 23-year-old George Richard Asimionesei entered a guilty plea to charges of endangering others and driving dangerously following an incident that occurred in Barberstown, County Kildare on August 22, 2022.

Asimionesei, a single man from Barrack Court, Rathcoole, County Dublin, was told in court that he was prohibited from driving at the time of the offence and was also accused of driving without insurance and a valid driving licence.

Gerard Kennedy, the wounded garda, subsequently resigned from the police in October, Sergeant Philip Taylor informed the court, reports The Mirror.
