Derry Court
A man has appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court charged with making threats to kill and resisting police.
Jonathan McCobb (42) of Tullymore Road in Derry was charged with the offences that occurred on the Strand Road in Derry on June 8 this year when he threatened to slit a man's throat on his way home from a night out.
He refused to watch the CCTV footage of the incident was said to be 'one hundred percent remorseful' and wanted to apologize to the injured party.
Defence Barrister Michael Donaghy said that McCobb's record was 'mostly disorderly' but added that his 'remorse is apparent'.
Deputy District Judge Sean O'Hare played the CCTV footage in court and said that McCobb seemed to appear in court 'about once a year'.
