A MOTHER of two shouted abuse at gardai after a night drinking vodka.
Letterkenny District Court heard Aisling Driver, who is 34 and from Croaghan Heights in Lifford, was in Main Street in Carrigans in the early hours of February 20 last year when the incident happened.
Inspector Michael Harrison said a garda patrol car was passing through the village when a female shouted obscenities at gardai.
Gardai stopped and asked the woman to move on, but she remained abusive and then refused to give her details to gardai.
Defence solicitor Patsy Gallagher said his client was “deeply remorseful and embarrassed” by the incident after she was charged with using threatening and abusive behaviour towards gardai and being drunk in a public place.
He said Ms Driver had been at a party where she had organised the food. She had a glass or two of wine but ended up drinking vodka.
He said his client had never been in trouble before.
Judge Paul Kelly said he wouldn’t record a conviction if Ms Driver made a charitable donation of €150 to Pieta House.
