'Final warning' given to Eglinton man who breached bail after domestic argument
45-year-old man was arrested when police investigating a separate alleged robbery found him absent from his designated address
A man has appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court following a breach of his bail conditions.
Michael Lowry (45) of Tygore Park in Eglinton was on bail for charges that included criminal damage with conditions including that he abide by a curfew.
On July 30, police were attending an alleged robbery at his address and did not find Lowry there.
When they returned the following day Lowry was home and was subsequently arrested.
Police did not object to bail as it is his first breach.
Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said that Lowry had left his address after a verbal argument with his partner, leaving to diffuse the situation.
He added that Lowry and his partner had made peace by the time the police had arrived the following day.
Bail was granted but District Judge Suzanne Rice warned Lowry that it was his 'final warning'.
He will appear again on August 6.
