Gardai commended for 'fast action' in imitation firearm scare
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Passing sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, Judge Martina Baxter said that after a very short standoff, Mullen was arrested. "It was a highly tense and serious incident due to the accused's use of poly-intoxicants," Judge Baxter said. Judge Baxter sentenced Mullen to 15 months in prison but suspended it in full for 15 months under strict conditions.
