41-year-old found at his mother's house granted bail again despite breaching multiple court orders

A man has appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court after breaching five of his six bail conditions.

William Temple (41) of no fixed abode was on bail on conditions including that he reside at an address approved by police, abide by a curfew, abstain from alcohol, have no contact with his mother, who is the alleged injured party in his case, not to enter the Foyle Road and abstain from any illegal drugs.

Temple was arrested after breaching all but the drug conditions.

Police were initially alerted on August 30 that Temple was not at his address at the time of his curfew.

When they attempted to make contact, he refused to co-operate, telling them that he would 'not sit in a cell until Tuesday'.

On August 31, police were contacted by Temple's mother, who said that Temple was at her address.

Upon his arrest, he gave a breath alcohol reading of 116mgs.

Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott said that Temple had an address that he knew would soon become unavailable.

He said that Temple claimed his mother had made a withdrawal statement and wanted him home.

He also added that it was Temple's first breach and that he suffers addiction to alcohol.

Bail was granted to an address approved by police and he will appear again on September 10.
