A defence lawyer told Dungannon Magistrates Court that McKernan has "a substantial criminal record", and suggested the court consider ordering a pre-sentence report before dealing with him.

District Judge Francis Rafferty adjourned the case until March 20 for a short pre-sentence report.

The judge warned the accused not to miss any appointments with the Probation Service and to contact Probation if he didn't hear from them within a week.

He told him it was in his own interests to attend Probation appointments.
