Man getting fresh start with new faith based organisation
A man who has been battling with alcohol has been remanded on continuing bail after it emerged he is getting a fresh start with a Faith based Community Initiative.
Sligo District Court heard that on 9 th May Gardaí got a call about a man threatening staff at The Snug bar in Stephen’s Street car park. When they arrived they viewed CCTV footage and identified the defendant, David Kelly (29) with addresses given at Garavogue Villas and Chestnut Grove, Castlebar.
He was later stopped on JFK Parade, “highly intoxicated”. Inspector Paul Kilcoyne said Kelly started shouting abuse at the Gardaí and was subsequently arrested.
Nine days later, on 18th May, Gardaí responded to a report of a man drunk at the Garavogue Bar at 11.45pm. They found Kelly being restrained by security staff and arrested him due to his intoxication.
Kelly pleaded guilty to both Public Order charges before Judge Kevin Kilrane on 21st September.
“When we found him, he was in a bad state, suicidal and intoxicated”
