Dublin care worker previously jailed for stalking and assault is fined over blocked Wicklow driveway
The Wicklow PeopleA Dublin care worker who was previously jailed for stalking and assaulting a performance artist has been fined for blocking a driveway in Wicklow.
Ogheneyoma Ughwubrusi (24), with an address at Wainsfort Park, Terenure, Co Dublin, appeared at Bray District Court charged with parking a vehicle in a manner causing an obstruction.
Sergeant Mick Canavan informed the court that Ms Ughwubrusi had been issued with a fixed charge notice which went unpaid after she blocked a driveway in Bray in 2025.
Photographs were handed into the court showing her car blocking the driveway. Judge Mary McAveety fined the accused €100 and gave her three months to pay
In July this year, the care worker was handed a 22-month custodial sentence at Dublin District Court for stalking and assaulting a performance artist.
She has appealed her conviction and is due to reappear at Court 8 of the Criminal Courts of Justice on October 8.
At her sentencing hearing, the court heard that Ms Ughwubrusi became “acquainted” with the performance artist after they discovered they shared a musical manager.
After a musical performance at a Dublin venue, the defendant showed the woman her Instagram posts and asked the artist to follow her on the platform.
Ms Ughwubrusi then continued to harass the victim over not following her on social media. She showed up at her workplace 50 times during a 20-week period in 2025.
Her campaign of stalking included an unprovoked attack in March 2025. At an initial hearing, she was also placed into custody after photographing the complainant during proceedings.

At Bray District Court in March, Judge David Kennedy fined her €500 after finding her guilty on one count of public intoxication and using or engaging in threatening behaviour.
The court previously heard that, while out socialising with friends at the Martello restaurant and bar on the seafront, she began to “fight” with staff over the non-payment of her food and alcohol bill.
When gardaí arrived, she was arrested after they noticed a strong smell of alcohol and that her pupils were dilated.
Ms Ughwubrusi told gardaí : “I’m not paying for anything, do you not have anything better to do,” adding: “You’re a dog and I’m fabulous.”
She claimed the arresting garda was “aggressive” and that she could not have been drunk as she does not consume alcohol.
