Carlos Lawrence was jailed for one month for a public order offence at Letterkenny District Court, as reported on 15 November 2018. He was also fined €250 for driving without a licence.

Lawrence was already serving a seven-year sentence for aggravated burglary after he and Catherine Dempsey terrorised a man and stole €16,000 from him. The report said Lawrence used a hammer, forced the victim to withdraw €1,200 from an ATM and was jailed for seven years for that offence.

At the Garda station, Lawrence became angry after being told his mobile phone would be withheld, threatened to urinate in the public office and set off the fire alarms by pressing an emergency button.
