Garda Dylan O'Malley reported that on August 9, 2023, he found Sumod George Sam asleep in a running vehicle with an empty vodka bottle nearby. Sam failed a roadside breath test, yielding a reading of 99 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath, significantly above the legal limit for a learner driver. Despite having a previous drink driving conviction and being under a three-year disqualification, Sam pleaded guilty to charges regarding the incident.
During the court hearing, Sam's defense emphasized his remorse and lack of prior incidents since the event. His counsel described it as an unfortunate example of 'stupidity' during a night out with friends, highlighting Sam's past career in IT and current unemployment.
