Co Tyrone man 'banging on front door demanding to get in' on Christmas Eve is ordered to complete Community Service
A 43-year-old Co Tyrone man who called at a house in Ballygawley on Christmas Eve ‘banging on the front door and demanding to get in’, was ordered to carry out 110 hours of community service when he appeared at Dungannon Magistrates Court.
Trevor McKeown from Old Omagh Road, Dungannon, admitting charges of disorderly behaviour, criminal damage and resisting police.
District Judge Francis Rafferty told McKeown that regardless of any animosity he might have towards the injured party he must stay away.
The judge ordered McKeown to pay £102.40 towards the cost of cleaning a police cell van.
The court heard the injured party closed the door on McKeown who was shouting for him to come out.
He was arrested by police and put in a cell van where he urinated in the rear of the vehicle.
A defence lawyer described it as “a very unsavory incident” which happened when McKeown had drink taken.
He explained there was a history between the parties.
