'Fat' Freddie Thompson’s ex father-in-law may avoid a prison sentence for the theft of items from a delivery van if his engagement with the Probation Services is positive.
Veteran criminal Noel Dempsey, 66, was convicted earlier this year at Swords District Court of the theft of two Canon printers and a PlayStation 4 from a Nightline delivery van as the driver made a delivery on November 13, 2019. That conviction was imposed in March when the case was in for hearing.
However, Dempsey did not appear before the court on that date and Judge Dermot Dempsey convicted him in his absence. A bench warrant was then issued for his arrest for the purpose of sentencing him.
