A man who 'behaved appallingly' towards his parents and threatened to kill them has been jailed at Derry Magistrate's Court today.
Daniel McClintock (27) of Benvarden Avenue in Derry admitted a series of offences that occurred on February 16 this year.
The court heard that police were called to a report that McClintock 'had become angry' and caused damage to the house valued at £400.
He threw a picture at his mother striking her on the head and threatened his parents.
When police tried to talk to him he assaulted an officer and was arrested.
Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said that his client accepted that he had behaved badly towards his parents but that they were willing to take him back.
He said that McClintock was on medication at the time of the offending but had not been taking it.
McClintock was jailed for six months.
