Man in the Midlands pleads guilty to producing golf club during burglary and assault

A man has pleaded guilty to the production of an article, burglary and section two assault at Longford Circuit Court.

David Stafford (47), of 70 Ardnacassa, Longford, was due to go on trial next week but he appeared before Judge Kenneth Connolly last week, where he pleaded guilty to three charges on the indictment.

Those charges relate to an incident on April 23, 2023, at Palace Crescent, Longford, where Mr Stafford entered a property as a trespasser to commit burglary, section two assault and where he produced a golf club.

Mr Stafford was remanded in custody and is due to reappear before Longford Circuit Court on February 21, when he will be sentenced.
