Darren Dixon (29) of Carleton Court in Derry was discovered to be in breach of the alcohol condition of his bail
After police received reports of a man kicking doors they found a person who they discovered was in breach of the alcohol condition of his bail.
Darren Dixon (29) of Carleton Court in Derry admitted the bail breach.
The court heard that once police detained him he was asked to blow into a breathalyser.
A police officer said that instead of blowing Dixon spat into the machine but added that it was clear he was intoxicated in breach of his bail conditions.
Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott said that this was Dixon's first breach and asked for a 'strong clear warning' to be issued.
Dixon was re-released on bail and will appear again on March 11.
