Conor McGregor - sporting a new shaved head look - has narrowly avoided jail for an 'appalling' series of dangerous driving incidents in Dublin
Conor McGregor was in court today sporting a new shaved head look along with his usual tailored suit and bling watch - and he left in the passenger seat.
The judge found that "remorseful" McGregor's driving was "persistent, prolonged and deliberate," but noting the mitigating factors and guilty plea, he held that "It is appropriate to meet this matter by way of a suspended sentence, and only just." Gardai pursued the MMA star at 160 km/h and stopped the 36-year-old in west Dublin. He was arrested after being asked at least six times to get out of his 2019-reg car.
Outlining the evidence, Garda Dennis Lorden recalled that he was stopped at traffic lights waiting for them to turn green at the junction of the Lucan Road, R136. He observed McGregor's car travelling on a 24-hour bus lane. "This vehicle travelled at speed on my inside, went through the red light on the bus corridor".
He went south on the motorway before "undertaking another vehicle already on the fast lane". The garda said he tried to stop him but he refused to pull over at first. Finally, he pulled over into the hard shoulder.
