Lisburn man taken to court after damaging his mother’s television
A judge has ordered a pre-sentence report in the case of a Lisburn man who broke his mother’s television after pulling it off the wall.
Damien Sherritt, aged 20, appeared before Lisburn Magistrates Court charged with criminal damage and stated that his address was Manor Park in Lisburn, which differs from the Maze Park address given on the charge sheet.
The court heard that on February 22, 2026, police were called to an address in relation to an ongoing disturbance.
It was reported that the defendant appeared to become irate over a minor issue involving a drink.
He then pried the television off the wall.
He was interviewed by police and made full admission.
A defence lawyer said: “He fully accepts he will repay the money for the television.”
District Judge Rosie Watters ordered a pre-sentence report, with the defendant to reappear before the court on June 4, 2026.
"I just don’t want it to ever happen again,” added Ms Watters.
