Garda sergeant convicted of assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice
The case was heard at Waterford Courthouse.
A Waterford based Garda Sergeant with 28 years service has been ordered to complete 80 hours community service in lieu of four months in prison when his case concluded at the local District Court last Friday having been found guilty of assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Sgt. William Doyle, based at Waterford Garda Station, was convicted of both charges when he came before Judge John O'Leary having pleaded not guilty at a previous sitting of the court.
