Sisters appear in court following altercation in Lisburn’s Grand Street
Two sisters have appeared in court following an altercation in Grand Street in Lisburn.
The pair were charged with disorderly behaviour following an incident with two other people in the Grand Street area of the city last year.
The court heard that on September 16, 2025 at 7.35pm, police received a report of an ongoing incident at Grand Street.
On route the officers were flagged down by people who alleged they had been assaulted, naming the defendant Levi Hannah Mailey (31), whose address was given as Glemore Walk in Lisburn, and her sister Stacey Leigh Mailey (29), whose address was given as Lissue Crescent in Lisburn.
Both defendants were subsequently arrested and made counter allegations.
A defence lawyer for Levi Hannah Mailey said the defendant had matured over the last number of years, stating that she attends Community Addictions for help with drug addiction.
District Judge Rosie Watters noted that the defendant told the Probation Service that she spends £120 a week on cocaine.
"It would be wrong if I didn’t try to do something about that,” said Ms Watters.
Ms Watters sentenced her to 12 months on probation, telling the defendant: “You have to stop wasting money and wasting your life taking cocaine.”
In a separate incident, Stacey Leigh Mailey was further charged with criminal damage.
The court heard that on October 17, 2025, police received a report from the Housing Executive that damage had been caused to property at Glemore Walk in Lisburn.
Graffiti had been sprayed on walls and the CCTV in the communal area, and a window had been smashed.
CCTV footage was viewed and the defendant, Stacey Leigh Mailey, was identified as the person responsible.
Defence for Stacey Leigh Mailey told the court the incident in Grand Street was “as a result of drink and drugs”.
He continued: "She now volunteers six days a week.
“She is living independently and she is entirely drug free. She seems to have turned a corner.”
Ms Watters imposed a custodial sentence of two months, suspended for 18 months on each of the two charges.
"I really hope you are not back here again and you move forward and can sort your life out,” she told the defendant.
