Teen Faces Sentencing After DART Rukcus
A Teenager is facing sentencing at a Dublin Children's Court over his part in a disturbance on board a DART train, which resulted in the carriage being evacuated.
The 17-year-old, who is currently remanded on bail pending sentence, pleaded guilty to being intoxicated to such an extent he was a danger to himself and others. The boy was found guilty of abusive and threatening behaviour at Dun Laoghaire train station, on the evening of October 28 last.
Judge Bryan Smyth heard six gardaí had to come to prevent a fight breaking out at the station, and that the youth was part of a group of five youths who were drunk and were "drinking, smoking, jumping on seats and kicking doors" before passengers were forced to evacuate the train.
Despite hearing the teenager was already facing a sentence hearing in January for a criminal damage offence, but had no other recorded convictions, Judge Smyth told the court the boy was at risk of facing a custodial sentence.
