A Lurgan man who pleaded guilty to having a ‘stool’ as an offensive weapon with intent to commit assault, has received a 10 months jail term.
Lee Knox (27), of Lurgan Tarry, committed offences on July 29 last year.
He also admitted damaging a TV and a mobile phone; assaulting two police officers; and attempting to cause criminal damage to a police car.
Full details of the incidents were not outlined at Friday’s sitting of Craigavon Magistrates’ Court.
The defendant had been on remand in custody since the summer.
A defence barrister said: “On this particular occasion he had taken cocaine and he says he has absolutely no intention to abuse that drug again.”
The defendant had a previous record.
District Judge Michael Ranaghan told the defendant: “If you ever want to have any sort of a life you need to change your ways.”
He said the defendant was potentially going to spend “life in prison by steps” if he continues to offend.
