‘Arrogant and rude’ man in assault case

A judge told a 55-year-old man he had been ‘mean, arrogant and rude’ to a young man and ordered him to pay £150 compensation to his victim.

Glyn Daniel Davies, Cedar Park, Bleary, was also fined £500 last Wednesday at Craigavon Magistrates Court for common assault on November 18, 2013.

At a previous court Davies had been convicted in his absence.

District Judge, Mrs Bernie Kelly, said the defendant had a ‘horrendous record’ and on this occasion was picking on a Kwik Fit employee.

She said that it was so bad the injured party said he ‘wasn’t getting paid enough to deal with this’ or words to that effect.

A barrister representing Davies said he was convicted in his absence. He would contest what happened and intended to appeal.

Judge Kelly said the defendant had been given two separate occasions to contest the case but had not attended on either occasion.
