A man who was involved in a scuffle and who then wanted to fight gardaí was before Ballina District Court on Tuesday.
On September 22 at 3.35am, two gardaí on patrol on Barrett Street came across a scuffle between John Lawrence, 142 Greenhills Estate, Ballina and another male. The intoxicated defendant then wanted the gardaí to fight him.
The 20-year-old, who has no previous convictions, was directed by Judge Mary Devins to contribute €150 to a local Traveller support group.
