A patron at a Cork nightclub who punched one of the security guards in the face was ordered to do 100 hours of community service yesterday to avoid a three-month jail term. Judge Aingil Ní Chondúin had put the case back until yesterday for a probation report on the defendant. As gardaí were informed of this, Power became more aggressive and had to be restrained further. During a routine search when he was taken into custody, €30 worth of amphetamine powder was found in his pocket. The full extent of the assault on the security guard was that Power punched him in the face and then kicked back into his shins when he was being restrained.
