Carrick man who threatened his neighbours jailed for seven months

Belfast Telegraph says A Co Antrim man who brandished a hammer at his neighbours after slapping one of them on the buttocks has been jailed for seven months.

Marcus Thompson, 24, also threatened to put a petrol bomb through one woman’s letter box and to stab her daughter to death.

During one of three separate incidents he headbutted a policeman and spat on another officer called to the scene in Carrickfergus.

A defence barrister described his client’s alcohol-fuelled behaviour as “totally deplorable”.

Thompson, of School Court in the town, admitted making threats to kill and to damage property, possessing an offensive weapon with intent, common assaults, disorderly behaviour, criminal damage and assaults on police.
