Carl Ryan was sentenced to 14 months in prison after being charged with a series of vicious threats in Buncrana over a 13-month period in 2019 and 2020
A man who terrorised his housing estate in Co Donegal threatened to burn his neighbours' children and ‘nail them to the floorboards.’Raging Ryan, who has 44 previous convictions, appeared at Letterkenny District Court by video link from Castlerea Prison.
Ryan told Mr McLaughlin that he would kill him and slash his tyres. After telling Mr McLaughlin that he would ‘never sleep comfortably in your bed again’, he threatened to burn his children, knee cap them and nail them to the floorboards. After attempting to open another door at the side of the house, Ryan returned to the front door and tried to gain access to the property. Ryan fled to his own home, but was arrested by Gardai a short time later.
In May 2022, Ryan was given a five-and-a-half year sentence after causing havoc on the Burwood estate. He appeared at Letterkenny Circuit Court charged with assaulting 67-year-old Peter Deeney.
