Derry Court
A man has appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court charged with criminal damage, assaulting police and breaching a restraining order.
David Gardiner (30) of Greenfields in Convoy in Donegal was charged with damaging a TV and assaulting a police officer on September 8.
He was also charged with breaching a restraining order against his former partner when he called and texted her on August 19.
The breach of the restraining order occured when Gardiner was said to have accidentally called his former partner when trying to get in contact with someone else.
Defence Barrister Stephen Chapman said that, when Gardiner realized who he had called, he immediately hung up and texted her to explain what had happened.

Police objected to bail as they believe he is at risk of reoffending and interfering with witnesses.
He also has a suspended sentence on charges relating to the same injured party and a previous breach that occurred on March 17.
Bail was refused and he will appear again on October 2.
