Man in court after two garda cars damaged in chase
A man who was arrested in connection with a garda pursuit which resulted in damage to two garda cars was granted consent to bail at a court.
Adam Strong, a 32-year-old man from Kilcavan, Geashill, Co Laois, appeared before Tullamore District Court after being accused of dangerous driving, possession of cocaine, and damaging two garda cars during a pursuit. Despite objections from the gardaí regarding the seriousness of the offenses, solicitor Gerry Maher argued that Strong lived with his parents, was employed full-time, and had been cooperative with the gardaí since his arrest.
Judge Michael Connellan granted Strong bail on his own bond of €2,000 and an independent surety of €6,500, subject to various conditions such as remaining sober, providing a contact number, obeying a curfew, and signing in at Portlaoise Garda Station on specific days. Strong was remanded in custody but permitted to appear before Portlaoise District Court on August 27.
