Dylan Walsh got 5 years suspended for dragging a garda 6 meters in 2024, citing suicide intent and mental health struggles.
Dylan Walsh, 33, of Dublin, received a five-year suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to dragging a garda six meters during a 2024 incident in Castleknock.
The officer, injured and later changing careers due to lasting trauma, was pulled from his vehicle as Walsh, under the influence of alcohol and medication for mental health issues, fled.
Walsh, who has 12 prior traffic convictions, claimed he intended to die by suicide and feared arrest would stop him.
Judge Pauline Codd suspended the six-and-a-half-year headline sentence, citing remorse, mental health struggles, family support, and a commitment to treatment, while imposing a 10-year driving ban and three years of probation with mental health supervision.
The victim’s partner relocated and changed jobs, and the garda reported long-term psychological and financial harm.
