Suspended jail term for actof violence

Darren Booth (23), of Riverside Gardens, Castledawson was told by District Judge Des Perry that he had committed an act of “gratuitious violence.”

A PPS lawyer said Booth had smashed a wing mirror on the van while it was engaged in making deliveries on June 29 last year.

The court heard the case had been adjourned from a previous court to allow police to monitor Booth’s behaviour.

A defence barrister said the defendant had kept out of trouble and full restitution, totalling £123.28 had been paid into court.
