Suspended sentence for Donegal man at Derry Magistrate's Court

Derry Court

A woman has been remanded in custody at Derry Magistrate's Court following a breach of her bail conditions.

Josie McCaughey (34) of Beraghvale in Derry was on bail for charges including assault and assaulting police and a part of her conditions included that she not have any contact with the alleged injured party.

She was arrested on September 7 after calling the injured party on the phone and police believe that the two may still be in contact.

Police told the court that McCaughey is 'well aware' of her bail conditions and has had multiple breaches since September last year.

Defence Barrister Sinead Rogan said that the breach of bail is 'relatively minor' and said that the injured party is not engaging with the PPS in relation to the charges.

She will appear again on September 25.
