Garda jailed over theft of cannabis evidence from station

A Dublin garda who was drunk when she sent her partner a picture of drugs and a text message saying,"baby, I got you this", has been given six months in jail for stealing a €70 cannabis exhibit from her station.

He imposed a nine-month sentence but suspended the final three months on condition she remained on supervised probation for two years and attended counselling for alcohol and drug addiction. However, by 1.30am she had not seen Lane for several hours and went to seek her out. Garda Peter Byrne in the community policing office told her Lane was"unsteady on her feet".She was found in the second-floor changing room"dishevelled looking", and her tie and shoes were wet.They brought her to the TV room, and Sergeant Godfrey and Doherty looked for her bag to get her car keys after they decided she would have to be brought home.

Sergeant Doherty was concerned the image was of the bag of cannabis, and it may have been a drug supply offence.Garda Philip Walsh had seized the cannabis earlier that month and was unable to place it in the usual drug safe because a printer was not working to label the package. He put it in his own locker with a file on top in the community policing office. But on the day of the offence, he noticed some rummaging in his locker.
