A man has been jailed at Derry Magistrate's Court for a disorderly behaviour charge.

Ryan Doherty (23) of Clon Dara in Derry admitted charges of disorderly behaviour, resisting police and possessing class C drugs on June 21 this year.

The court heard that police were alerted by CCTV operators to a man making a 'general nuisance' of himself in Waterloo Street. 

When police arrived Doherty had left the scene but a short time later was involved in an issue with a taxi driver. 

Police searched him and found four class C tablets on him.
