A Kerrykeel man known as ‘Elvis’ has been fined €50 for being intoxicated.
Gardai told Letterkenny District Court that they had received reports of a man on a bike asking for money from people in the car park of the LIDL supermarket in Milford.
Garda Enda Jennings told the court told the court that he knew the man as Frank McGroary of Kerrykeel.
He said the 68 year old was well-known in the area as ‘Elvis’ and was a pitiful sight due to his drink problem.
On the day in question Garda Jennings said McGroary was attempting to speak to people in cars with children in them.
The Garda said he told McGroary that he was due in court but the accused said the Garda must have the wrong man as he said he was never in court in his life.
Judge Paul Kelly fined McGroary €50 and gave him one month to pay.
