Longford District Court December date for theft and drug possession charges

A 22 year old man accused of theft and drug possession will return before Longford District Court in December to have the case against him progressed.

Evan Lynham of no fixed abode, but with a previous address at Tiermohan, Donadea, Nass, Kildare faces four charges. The defendant is charged with the theft of eight cans of Bulmers cider on July 17, 2020 from Tesco supermarket valued at €14, failing to keep a court appointment on July 23, 2020 and simple possession and possession for sale or supply of cocaine on August 31, 2019.

The court was told the defendant was brought before the court on foot of a bench warrant.

Solicitor John Quinn said his client is currently serving a sentence, but acknowledged he was not serving that sentence at the time the warrant was issued.

Mr Lynham was remanded on his own bond of €300 to December 13 next, at which time the Director of Public Prosecution will have finalised directions on the drugs matter. The theft charges will also dealt with on that date.
