The defendant Mark Francis Kennedy (34), of Sandymount in Magherafelt, committed offences on May 11 last year.

A defence lawyer told Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, the defendant had issues with alcohol.

District Judge Nigel Broderick deferred sentencing until September and said there must not be any further offending and the defendant should engage with mental health and addictions teams.
