Man bit and broke garda's finger while trying to flee courthouse

Stage: Appeal

Plea: Guilty

Outcome: Last year the three-judge Court of Appeal heard that Power was being sentenced for another matter when he became aggrieved and attempted to flee. The court found that a 12-month suspended sentence imposed on Power was unduly lenient but decided to postpone re-sentencing to allow him to engage with probation services.
