Garda jailed for stealing €70 cannabis exhibit from station while drunk at work

Court told Holly Lane sent partner a text saying ‘Baby, I got you this’ alongside picture of bag containing drugHolly Lane denied the theft of cannabis evidence seized by another officer, unlawful possession of cannabis and having it for sale or supply at Store Street Garda station on December 12th, 2021.

Lane had been suspended since the date of the incident and her career in the force is over, her barrister David Staunton said.Some children try to mask or camouflage their differences to fit inSara O’Neill: ‘Every flower, every plant, every building has a story’ It was decided that Lane would have to be brought home. When colleagues looked for her car keys they found a half bottle of vodka in her bag and a quarter bottle of vodka in her changing-room locker.

The sergeant was later shown a screenshot posted by Lane to a work WhatsApp group. It featured an image and text saying “Look what I got for you”. Sgt Doherty was concerned the image was of the bag of cannabis, which may have been from a drug supply offence. Lane did not testify but gave a prepared statement to investigators from Garda headquarters saying she had been in the office to work on files for two drug prosecutions.

Lane maintained that she returned and saw the cannabis on the desk and did not take it. She tried to convince gardaí that she had taken anti-anxiety medication, which exacerbated the effects of the alcohol.
