Man alleged to have deliberately driven car into a border collie pup has court case further adjourned
A man who allegedly deliberately and repeatedly had driven a car into 'Mollie' - a border collie pup - has had his case further adjourned to September 3 at Antrim Magistrates' Court, sitting in Ballymena.
Sean Norris (23), with an address given as Larkspur Rise in Belfast, had according to a judge, allegedly performed a "horrendous and deliberate" action towards the dog which fortunately survived, an earlier court heard.
The defendant is accused of causing unnecessary suffering to the dog on May 19 this year. He is also charged with causing unnecessary suffering to another dog - his mother's Bichon Frisé - on an earlier date.
The defendant is also alleged to have threatened to kill his brother. The previous court heard the accused had a clear record.
On Tuesday, June25, Antrim Court was told the defendant is on bail.
A defence lawyer said they wanted to get the accused assessed by a psychologist and said an appointment is scheduled for mid-August.
