"Vincent Hendy, a fisherman, was sentenced to jail for using a garden hoe to deliberately scratch an off-duty garda's car, which he believed he had the right to damage."
"The incident occurred when the off-duty officer parked outside Hendy's home to take his children for ice-cream, leading to Hendy's misguided act of vandalism."
Vincent Hendy, 47, was sentenced to jail for gouging scratches into a garda's car using a garden hoe. He claimed a "God-given right" to park in a public space outside his seaside home. The car belonged to an off-duty garda who had parked nearby while taking his children for ice-cream. The court heard that Hendy's actions were deliberate and resulted from his misguided sense of entitlement to the parking space.
