Husband of Sinn Fein Mayor Cllr Elisha McCallion faces court on assault charges
THE husband of the Sinn Fein Mayor of the new Derry and Strabane District Council Cllr Elisha McCallion has appeared in court his morning.
Declan McCallion, 34, of Elaghmore Park in Galliagh, faced four charges at Derry Magistrates’ Court following an incident last month.
He was charged with:
* unlawfully assaulting Patrick Harley;
* unlawfully assaulting Veronica Harley;
* disorderly behaviour in a public place, namely Academy Road, Derry,
* and resisting Constable Adrian Brogan in the execution of his public duty as a police officer.
All the offences were committed on the same date, May 19.
The court was told that McCallion may face further charges as other offences had since come to light.
The case was adjourned for one week, until June 17.
Sinn Fein says it will not comment the case as Mr McCallion is not a member of the party.
