Remanded in custody for riot charge

Twenty seven year old Graham John Best, of Jervis Street, Portadown, appeared last Friday at Craigavon Magistrates Court by way of videolink from Maghaberry prison.

A solicitor for Best said bail had been refused at a court on Monday and had been put into last Friday’s list to seen if things calmed down in Portadown.

A prosecutor said there had been more trouble the night before and more were to appear in court.

District Judge, Mr Alan White, said the investigating officer would need to be in court and adjourned the case until today (Friday) for a bail application.
