Derry Court

A man has appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court today charged with breaching his bail by being somewhere he shouldn't have been. 

Cathal Doherty (47) of Clon Elagh in Derry discharged with criminal damage to a door and disorderly behaviour on May 5.

He was also charged with resisting and obstructing police on the same date.

The court heard that the bail breach occurred because Doherty was in an area of Eglinton where he was not permitted to be.

A police officer told the court that it was Doherty and bail was not opposed.

He told him that he was not to enter the area of Eglinton and was to have no contact with the alleged injured party. 

Doherty was released on bail and will appear again on May 28.
