John Bowe

John Bowe, a 41-year-old from Co Wexford, is an ex-garda who gained media attention due to a lawsuit he filed against a Garda superintendent and the Irish state, claiming that he sustained injuries during a violent arrest following a high-speed car chase in 2014. Bowe acknowledged his criminal driving during the incident but seeks accountability for the actions of the gardaí involved in his arrest, particularly a baton strike to his head.
