Moneymore man facing motoring charges is given interim driving ban
A pre-sentence report was ordered in the case of a 37-year-old South Derry man facing motoring charges.
Magherafelt Magistrates Court heard the charges arise out of an incident at Springhill Road in Moneymore.
Damien Devlin, of Drumrot Road, Moneymore, is accused of being in charge of a vehicle with excess alcohol in breath, and using a vehicle without having insurance on June 21 this year.
A defence lawyer told the court that Devlin was in breach of a suspended sentence.
He suggested the court should consider ordering a pre-sentence report before dealing with the matter.
Imposing an interim driving disqualification from August 12, District Judge Conor Heaney adjourned the case until September 2 for the report to be prepared.
Mr Heaney told the defendant to be sure to cooperate with the Probation Service, or he will deal with the matter without a report when it next came before the court.
