A 24-year-old man appeared at a special court in Trim today charged in connection with alleged incidents in which a Garda car was rammed and Gardai assaulted in an incident in Monaghan two days ago. Vincentias Miksta with an address at Riverview, Ballinode, Co Monaghan was charged with assault causing harm, obstructing a Garda in the course of his/her duty, possession of cocaine and possession for sale or supply, and attempting to escape from lawful custody at Tully corner, Ballybay, Co Monaghan at 11.45amast Thursday.
Detective Garda Evelyn Daire gave evidence of arresting and charging the accused who appeared in custody at Trim District Court. Defending solicitor Dmitry Grinberg said that his client had €1,000 available for bail and would abide by any conditions set by the court. However, Judge Raymond Finnegan refused bail and remanded accused in custody to Monaghan District Court next Monday.
