, Cork pleaded guilty at Cork District Court to assaulting a garda in the course of the garda carrying out his duty at Leamlara Close in Togher on March 29th last.
“An issue had arisen at the time between Mr Olden his parents – it had been ongoing for some time and they could not control him and on this night, Mr Olden’s father asked him to leave and called gardaí,” he said. Sgt Joyce said the garda spat at by Olden could not get tested immediately because of the backlog of cases so he and his partner, also a garda, had to be taken off operational duties and had to self-isolate for a fortnight.
Sgt Joyce said that he called to Olden’s house the following night and it appeared to him that Olden did not grasp the seriousness of what he had done and it took some time for seriousness of his situation to dawn on him., that Olden, who did not have Covid-19, had no previous convictions and had never come to Garda notice before this incident or indeed since and had abided by all his bail terms.
