Derry man charged with breaching bail conditions
Lawrence Moore (46) of Rockmills in Derry was charged with breaching bail on April 17 by being at an address in Creggan despite being prohibited from entering that area
A man who 'should know bail is not something to be messed about' has appeared at Derry Magistrates' Court charged with breaching his bail conditions.
Lawrence Moore (46) of Rockmills in Derry was charged with breaching bail on April 17 by being at an address in Creggan despite being prohibited from entering that area.
A police officer told the court that police received a 999 call and in the background a man and a woman could be heard arguing with the woman telling the man to leave.
Police traced the phone to an address in Creggan and Moore answered the door to them despite bail conditions excluding him from Creggan.
He was arrested and bail was opposed as this was his second breach and the court heard he had a record in the Republic.
Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said his client had received a call from the woman saying she had dropped the charges and inviting him to come round.
The solicitor said something happened in between and there was the 999 call.
Deputy District Judge Sean O'Hare said Moore should have been aware of the conditions.
He re-released him on the same conditions and added a cash surety of £500.
Moore will appear again on May 8.
