I was just reading Neil McCormick's 1987 article on the "Unforgettable Fire" biography and came across this:
No mention is made of what must have been a crucial incident in Adam's life (and which received extensive national newspaper coverage), when on January 10th 1985, he knocked down a policeman and dragged him for 40 yards behind his car. (Clayton, who according to the Irish Evening Press told the Garda to "stop messing and f--k off", was disqualified from driving for two years).
While Adam's arrest for drug possession in 1989 is well-known and he talks about it quite openly in interviews, this one's new to me and I was kinda shocked tbh.
Does anyone have more information on this particular incident? I've tried Googling but the only thing it gives me is the McCormick article.
