District Judge orders pre-sentence report in case of Magherafelt woman facing public order offences
A 23-year-old South Derry woman has admitted charges of assault, disorderly behaviour and criminal damage.
Fatima Quebe, whose address was given as Castledawson Road in Magherafelt, is accused of assaulting another woman, damaging a car and being disorderly at Aughrim Road in Magherafelt on February 6, 2023.
She also admitted a charge of unlawfully having in her possession a Class B drug, namely methedrone, on May 14 this year.
A defence solicitor told Magherafelt Magistrates Court on Wednesday that the court would benefit from a pre-sentence report from the Probation Service before dealing with the matter.
He stressed that the drug offence related to “a small quantity of drugs”.
District Judge Suzanne Rice adjourned the case until February 4 for a full pre-sentence report.
She warned Quebe to engage in the assessment with the Probation authorities and keep all appointments.
The judge told her to return to court in February for sentencing.
