Derry Magistrate's Court
A man has been warned that he will 'spend his life in custody' unless he makes changes and stops offending following an appearance at Derry Magistrate's Court.
Paul Farren (35) of Duncreggan Road in Derry admitted a charge of criminal damage of a police cell van on April 11 this year.
The court heard that after being arrested Farren urinated in the rear of a police vehicle.
He is currently serving an eight month sentence for separate offences and pleaded guilty to the charges.
Deputy District Judge Brian Archer said that Farren has an 'appalling criminal record' with 250 previous convictions and said it had reached the stage where if he appeared in court he will be receiving a prison sentence.
