Man appears in court accused of arson attack on Larne Leisure Centre during summer disorder
A man appeared at court on Thursday (December 18) accused of an arson attack at Larne Leisure Centre during disorder in the summer.
Violence flared in Ballymena in June before spreading to other parts of Northern Ireland in subsequent days.
Paul White (25), of Fairway in Larne, is charged with arson at the Leisure Centre on June 11 this year.
He is also charged with riotous behaviour and causing criminal damage at the Leisure Centre.
Full details regarding the background to the charges were not outlined at the court. The case was adjourned to January 8.
The defendant was previously in court charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice. That charge was in relation to June 14 this year.
The charge is that 'with intent to pervert the course of public justice attempted to do an act which had a tendency to pervert the course of public justice, namely tried to access the email and password of the Anti-Immigration Facebook account in Larne after his co-accused was arrested'. That case was previously adjourned to January 8.
At Thursday's court the defendant was released on continuing bail and the cases were adjourned to January 8.
