A MAN who was found lying intoxicated on the grass at the side of the road on the Barrow Track in Carlow town was fined €250 in his absence at Carlow District Court. Roman Pidlubnyi (29), with an address at Dranure, Athy Road, Carlow, did not appear before the court to face a charge of public intoxication.
The court heard that gardaí received a call from a member of the public on 10 December 2024 at around 6pm reporting that two men were involved in an altercation at the Barrow Track, Carlow town. When gardaí arrived at the scene, they observed the defendant in an intoxicated state, lying down on the grass at the side of the road. He was arrested and brought to Carlow Garda Station for his own safety.
The court was told that the defendant has no previous convictions.
Noting Mr Pidlubnyi’s non-appearance, Judge Geraldine Carthy convicted and fined him €250, with 90 days to pay.
