Colin Brady, Church View Close, Lawrencetown, admitted possession of cannabis resin on June 3, 2015, assaulting an officer and resisting a constable. For each offence he was fined £100 and ordered to pay a £15 offender’s levy.

The court heard that when approached by police Brady became aggressive and he was asked to hand over any drugs he had.

When a co-defendant was arrested he tried to pull her away from police and he started to shout. During the course of the struggle he assaulted an officer.

A solicitor representing Brady said this happened some time ago. The solicitor said his client had been off drink and drugs for some time and was on a much better path.
