Footballer Conrad Logan tried to headbutt a garda
Former Leicester City and Hibernian football club goalkeeper Conrad Logan has been spared a criminal conviction and prison sentence for a drink-fuelled "melee" on his stag night in Dublin.
The prosecution withdrew a third charge for assaulting a garda during the incident. Donegal-born Logan, who had been drinking since 11 am and was with a group for his stag night, had been asked to leave a pub. Defence counsel Luke O'Higgins said his client also intended to return to Dublin, visit the club to donate equipment, and work with the members aged 10 to 14. Judge Hughes applied the Probation of Offenders Act.
Pleading for leniency, Mr O'Higgins said the purpose of the reference letters was to show that the incident was completely out of character, foolish, and it should not have happened. Mr O'Higgins characterised the incident as "a flash in the pan" and short-lived, and he submitted that Logan was unlikely to come before the courts again in any jurisdiction.
