Deputy district judge gives Maghera man a week to turn up at court to answer criminal damage charge
A judge has adjourned a criminal damage charge against a Maghera man and gave him “a week to turn up” to court.
Gareth Stephen Kennedy, aged 45, from Hall Crescent, is accused of unlawfully damaging a car on March 17.
A police officer told Magherafelt Magistrates Court he could connect the accused to the charge.
When Kennedy failed to respond to the court usher, Deputy District Judge Noel Dunlop adjourned the case until April 15.
Mr Dunlop remarked an arrest warrant would issue if Kennedy failed to attend.
