A man who was trying to fight after being ejected from a local bar has appeared at Derry Magistrates' Court charged with disorderly behavior.

Dean Elliott (27) of no fixed abode was charged with the offences that occurred on August 9 after police were alerted to an incident where bouncers were trying to remove Elliott from the premises.

Police attempted to assist the situation but Elliott continued to resist removing his top and trying to fight thus leading to his arrest.

Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said that 'a lot of drink' had been taken at the time of the incident, adding that Elliott has 'no recollection' of what had happened and that there were 'no aggravated features'.

He was sentenced to two months in custody, suspended for 12 months.
