Threw stone at police vehicle

Colum Madden (19), of Oakvale, Moyraverty admitted charges of disorderly behaviour and attempted criminal damage.

Thursday's sitting of Craigavon Magistrates Court was told a police patrol had seen the defendant running at their vehicle at around 3.45pm on June 5, 2010, he lifted a stone and threw it at their vehicle but it missed.

As officers were leaving the area he shouted at them "RUC w*****rs".

Madden was warned about his behaviour.

Later at Westacres he was observed shouting "F-rs" and raised a clenched fist.

His solicitor Conor Downey, said alcohol had been a factor in the matter.

District Judge Alan White said: "This is stupid behaviour to get dragged into court for shouting and roaring in the middle of the afternoon because you're drunk."

He adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report.
