They were shouting loudly and when police spoke to them one male returned home.

A short time later they had to go back to deal with the defendant who was shouting and swearing and acting aggressively. This was in the early hours of the morning.

Mr Joe McDonald, representing the defendant, said this wasn’t at his client’s house. He added that Hughes had taken drink and was on medication so he shouldn’t have taken any drink.

Mr McDonald added that the defendant knew that his behaviour was unacceptable and he had spent the night in custody.
