Craig Mooney received a one-year suspended sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, reported on 13 December 2017, after pleading guilty to criminal damage to a garda patrol car. The offence happened at Broadford Walk, Ballinteer, Dublin, on 17 January 2016. The sentence was consecutive to a term he was already serving, suspended for 18 months with probation supervision. Sam Mooney also pleaded guilty, but his sentencing was adjourned for a community-service assessment. The court heard that the brothers kicked and punched the patrol car and spat on its windscreen; no physical damage was found, although washing it cost the State between €10 and €25.
