A Letterkenny man has appeared in court accused of kicking a Garda in the stomach.
Glen Friel was before Letterkenny District Court in connection with the alleged incident on May 5, 2022.
The 24-year-old of Oliver Plunkett Road, Letterkenny, faces a charge that he did, at Oliver Plunkett Road, Letterkenny, assault one Garda Aoife McNulty, causing her harm.
The charge is contrary to Section 3 of the Non-Fatal Offence Against the Person Act, 1997.
