Man re-arrested six days after release following disorderly incident in Derry
Michael Connors (30) of no fixed abode appeared charged with disorderly behaviour in Waterloo Place on November 3 and a charge of possessing class C drugs on the same date
A man who had only been released from prison six days ago was arrested after a disorderly behaviour incident in Waterloo Place in Derry.
Michael Connors (30) of no fixed abode appeared charged with disorderly behaviour in Waterloo Place on November 3 and a charge of possessing class C drugs on the same date.
A police officer connected the accused to the charges and opposed bail.
The court heard that police received a report of an ongoing assault and spoke to a man who was said to have been assaulted but he declined medical treatment.
City Centre CCTV footage showed an altercation between Connors and another man with both men 'staggering and shouting at each other' before that escalated into a fight.
Connors was said to have lifted the other man and 'slammed him into the ground' and appeared to swing his foot towards him.
After being arrested tablets were said to have been found on him.
Bail was opposed due to the fact the accused was only released less than a week ago and due to his record.
The officer said that the defendant had 'a very poor bail history'.
Connors was released on bail to an address approved by the PSNI.
