A man has appeared before court accused of sending threatening messages to DUP MLA Trevor Clarke.

They include sending threatening electronic messages, possession of cannabis and breaching a restraining order.

There is also a charge for intimidation of a witness on March 29 2026 for allegedly threatening Mr Clarke for speaking with police, and for allegedly harassing Mr Clarke between March 27 and April 1.

Moran is due to appear before the magistrates’ court at Laganside in Belfast on April 29.
