Paul Farren, 36, from Rivercourt in Derry, faced Derry Magistrates Court on Monday over 10 charges from February 28. The charges included five counts of assaulting Police Service of Northern Ireland officers, criminal damage, spitting in a police vehicle, tearing a PSNI jumper, damaging a microphone, and disorderly behaviour. A police officer linked Farren to the charges. Defence counsel Michael Donaghy made no bail application. The court remanded Farren in custody for a reappearance on March 19.

Michael Dillon, 42, of Crawford Court in Derry, appeared on charges of trespass at his former partner's home and harassment from February 28. Police Service of Northern Ireland officers attended after reports of 90 calls to the woman between 1am and 7am. Officers found Dillon inside the property along with damaged items and a ligature. In interview, Dillon admitted the calls and entering without permission but denied damaging the door. Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott noted Dillon's psychological issues and his claim that he had lived with the woman for three or four months. The court granted bail with conditions against contact with the woman and entry to a specific area of the city. Dillon returns on March 26.

Brian Boyle, 35, from Clarendon Street in Derry, faced a charge of breaching curfew while on bail for offences including assault occasioning actual bodily harm. CCTV footage from February 28 showed Boyle in an altercation with a man police believed possessed a knife. Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley stated the incident took place near Boyle's home during a short trip for cigarettes, where Boyle was punched by another individual. The court re-released Boyle on his existing bail conditions. He is due back on March 12.
