A man who broke into his neighbour’s home while armed with a knife and demanded cash has been jailed for 28 months. Detective Garda James Codd told Grainne O’Neill BL, prosecuting, that a warrant was issued for Doran’s arrest in February 2014 when he failed to show up for a sentence hearing. Doran rushed past him when he opened the door, held a knife to him and told him he wanted €400. The garda said Doran continued to shove the knife at his neighbour’s stomach and the man got a cut on his thumb while trying to defending himself. Det Gda Codd said the victim’s wife had locked herself and their child into a bedroom and only came out when the gardaí arrived.
