Derry Court: Man (50) banned from entering Lawrence Hill remanded for bail breach

Derry Magistrate's Court heard today how a man who was banned from entering Lawrence Hill was said to have been in an address there and banged the wall and threatened the neighbour he was 'going to get him.'

Kevin McCallion (50) whose address was given as Mark Street in Portrush appeared charged with breaching his bail on March 7.

A police officer told the court that police attended an address on Lawrence Hill and found the defendant there.

McCallion is on bail with 'a number of conditions' including not being intoxicated and not going within 500 metres of Lawrence Hill.

One of the charges McCallion is on bail for involves a neighbour in that area and this person told police that the defendant had been banging on the wall shouting he was going to get him.

The officer said it was McCallion's sixth breach of bail and he had been in court last Saturday then on Monday and now on Wednesday.

Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said that his client had lost his bail address and had contacted G4S to report this.

District Judge Barney McElholm said that this man 'can't be trusted' and couldn't be managed by conditions.

He remanded McCallion in custody to appear again on March 15.
