The  performer told officers during her arrest at Shannon Airport in Ireland  last year that she was an icon and the Queen of Limerick.  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom\" style=\"letter-spacing: .01em;\">O&#8217;Riordan  admitted four offences including assault and obstructing a police  officer during the incident following a flight from New York&#8217;s JFK  airport on 10 November. Ennis  District Court in Ireland was told she accused an officer of groping  and sexually assaulting her during the arrest, a claim which has since  been retracted. The  court heard O&#8217;Riordan has since been diagnosed with bipolar disorder  and medics suggested she was suffering from hypomania, sleep deprivation  and paranoia at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom\" style=\"letter-spacing: .01em;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom\" style=\"letter-spacing: .01em;\">She  threatened to sue arresting officers and told them she paid their wages  when they tried to take her out of first class after the flight had  landed. In  evidence read to the court, Inspector Tom Kennedy said the  singer-songwriter&#8217;s behaviour was at first erratic, then unruly, irate,  threatening, irrational and aggressive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom\" style=\"letter-spacing: .01em;\">&#8220;Ms O&#8217;Riordan was very belligerent,&#8221; he told the court.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom\" style=\"letter-spacing: .01em;\">&#8220;She  said &#8216;you are not going to arrest me.

She was supported for the hearing by her mother Eileen and one of her brothers. Judge  Patrick Durcan ordered O&#8217;Riordan to write letters of apology to all  those affected in the incident while he considers sentencing. The  44-year-old mother of three children aged 18, 14 and 10, who now lives  in New York and is back working in the music business, will be sentenced  at a date to be fixed next year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom\" style=\"letter-spacing: .01em;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom\" style=\"letter-spacing: .01em;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm canvas-atom\" style=\"letter-spacing: .01em;\">Source: Yahoo Music<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cranberries singer Dolores O&#8217;Riordan has pleaded guilty to headbutting and spitting on a police officer&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5756"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5756\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
