Derry Magistrates Court
Derry Magistrate's Court heard today how after a woman was told she was barred from a licensed premises she threw a glass and caused more than £1,500 worth of damage.
Amanda Florence Cullen (43) of Top of the Hill in Derry admitted a charge of disorderly behaviour and criminal damage on February 25.
The court heard that Cullen tried to enter a bar in the Waterside area and was told she had previously been barred from there.
She left then returned and threw a glass damaging a screen of a till resulting in damage estimated at £1,560.
The incident was captured on CCTV and bar staff could be seen arguing with Cullen before she threw the glass.
The defendant later apologised for her actions and offered to pay compensation.
Defence counsel Sinead Rogan said that the bar staff had maintained they were never in fear of Cullen.
She said her client's offending had 'de-escalated' in recent years.
Cullen was given a 4 month sentence suspended for 18 months and ordered to pay £1,560 in compensation.
