Derry judge advises man charged with breaching bail to stay away from Buckfast


Conor Tracey (38) of Duddy's Court was fined £400 for breaching bail conditions
A man has appeared at Derry Magistrates Court following a breach of bail.
Conor Tracey (38) of Duddy's Court was on bail for two counts of disorderly behavior on July 5 after police were called to Duddy's Court to find Tracey drunk and disorderly.
Police offered Tracey a lift home but Ashe went towards the police vehicle he subsequently began to shout abuse at police and the person that called them.
Police warned him about his behavior only to be ignored.
Once in custody Tracey spat on a seat.
The court heard Tracey was rearrested on July 31 after breaching his bail conditions.
Defense Solicitor Seamus Quigley said that Tracey had come out of an off-licence 'with or without a bottle of Buckfast' and asked police for a ride home, possibly having mistaken them for a taxi.
He added that Tracey had suffered a severe brain injury in the past and had pleased guilty at the earliest opportunity.
District Judge Barney McElholm said that perhaps the defendant should stay away from the Buckfast.
Tracey was fined £400.
