Hotel manager ran red light and crashed into parked car after drinking bottle of wine
Jennifer Ryan of Butterfield, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, pleaded guilty at Tallaght District Court to drink-driving at Butterfield Park on February 10, 2024. A 55-year-old hotel manager who was observed running a red light and colliding with a parked car after drinking a bottle of wine has been banned from driving for three years and ordered to complete a restorative justice programme. Jennifer Ryan of Butterfield, Rathfarnham, Dublin 14, pleaded guilty at Tallaght District Court to drink-driving at Butterfield Park on February 10, 2024. Garda Ciarán Kelly told the court that at around 8.45pm, his attention was drawn to a car stopped at the top of a queue of traffic lights on Butterfield Avenue. The vehicle had reversed slightly towards the car behind.

The court heard the driver turned onto Butterfield Park and collided with a parked car, causing damage to both vehicles. Garda Kelly approached the driver's side and instructed the woman to turn off the engine. He noted a strong smell of alcohol and slurred speech from the driver. The court heard that a urine sample later returned a reading of 347 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of urine, well over the legal limit. The court heard that Ryan had no previous convictions. Her defence counsel, Lauren Flanagan BL, said that Ryan was 'desperately sorry' and had been under significant emotional strain at the time. She told the court that her client had consumed a full bottle of wine in one sitting and had since voluntarily given up driving, prompting Judge John O'Leary to ask: 'Would it not be easier for her to give up alcohol than driving?' Ms Flanagan said her client accepted she had an issue with alcohol and was actively engaging with support services. She said Ryan is currently receiving treatment through St John of God's addiction programme. Judge O'Leary convicted the defendant, imposed a €400 fine with six months to pay and disqualified her from driving for three years. He also ordered that she complete a restorative justice programme under the supervision of the Probation Service, and adjourned the case to September 5 next for a progress review. If the fine is paid and the restorative justice programme is completed, the court indicated no further penalty will be imposed. Funded by the Courts Reporting Scheme.

Wayne County couple face charges after posting lewd comment, blaming others
A Texas Twp. couple face charges after trying to implicate others, including their son, for posting a vulgar comment about their daughters online in an attempt to cover up their own involvement, police said. On June 11, Jennifer Ryan obtained a protection-from-intimidation order against Lana Walker, protecting Ryan and her children from harassment and threats from Walker, according to a criminal complaint. About a month later, Jennifer and Anthony Ryan told detectives that Walker violated the order by posting lewd content about their daughters on Facebook and expressed their desire to press charges against her, police said. Walker told investigators she didn't post the message and that the Facebook page where it originated didn't belong to her, detectives wrote in the complaint. Additionally, Walker told detectives she believed Jennifer Ryan created the Facebook page and made the harassing post to try to get her in trouble, investigators said. * Anthony Ryan (Courtesy Wayne County Detectives) * Jennifer Ryan (Courtesy Wayne County Detectives) * Jennifer Ryan (Courtesy Wayne County Detectives) * Anthony Ryan (Courtesy Wayne County Detectives) Show Caption 1 of 4 Anthony Ryan (Courtesy Wayne County Detectives) Expand Detectives executed multiple search warrants and learned that the IP address — a numeric designation that identifies its location on the internet — used to post the content online came back to Jennifer and Anthony Ryan. Jennifer Ryan denied having any involvement and told detectives that Walker had access to her Wi-Fi account, investigators said. After being told more search warrants would be executed to see who was responsible, the Ryans asked detectives to stop the investigation and told them they no longer wanted to press charges. But the detectives moved forward, according to the criminal complaint. When further pressed about the matter, the Ryans said their son was responsible for posting the content, police said. However, when detectives interviewed him, they discovered Jennifer and Anthony Ryan were implicating their son in a crime he didn't commit in an attempt to conceal their own involvement, investigators said. Anthony Ryan later admitted creating the Facebook account in Walker's name and posting the content, according to the criminal complaint. The Ryans also said it was a 50/50 decision between them to place the blame on their son, police said. Detectives charged Jennifer Ryan, 40, with endangering the welfare of a child and false reports to law enforcement. Anthony Ryan, 43, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, identity theft, tampering with physical evidence and false reports to law enforcement. The Ryans were released on $50,000 unsecured bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday at 9 a.m.
