He is accused of possessing an offensive weapon, namely a knuckleduster, in a public place, driving while disqualified, no insurance and a defective tyre at High Street, Lurgan on October 28 last year.
Dean’s barrister, Mr Conor Coulter, said his client pleaded guilty to all charges.
District Judge Michael Ranaghan said the starting point for driving while disqualified is custody and Dean would ‘get the benefit’ of a pre-sentence report.
"You must attend any appointment Probation give you. Keep an eye out for your appointment letters,” said the district judge who confirmed the court had Dean’s correct address.
Mr Coulter said he hadn’t taken instructions in relation to an interim driving disqualification and asked the court to hold off on that temporarily.
The case was adjourned until February 18.
