Suspended sentence for resisting police and drugs offence
Christopher Holden (35) of Drumleck Drive was sentenced to two months in custody, suspended for eighteen months
A man has been given a suspended sentence at Derry Magistrates’ Court charged with resisting police and possession of Class B drugs.
Christopher Holden (35) of Drumleck Drive in Derry was arrested after police received a report of a man shouting and screaming while trying to enter a property.
Police arrived found Holden in a shed, suspecting that he was under the influence, and upon searching found a small amount of Class B drugs.
He was subsequently taken to hospital and arrested for resisting police.
Defence Barrister Stephen Chapman said that there had been a 'significant gap' since Holden's last offence and said that any sentence apart from community service would be suitable.
He was sentenced to two months in custody, suspended for eighteen months.
