A 28-year-old man with more than 100 criminal convictions was sentenced to 18 months in prison for assaulting three individuals and causing £500 worth of damage to the Monaco Bar in Belfast. The offenses, described by Judge Sandra Crawford as 'violent' and 'abhorrent', involved the use of alcohol and drugs.
A man with more than 100 criminal convictions was jailed for 18 months today after "deplorable substance-fuelled offending" in Belfast city centre.
Belfast Crown Court heard all four offences admitted by Muir took place on the afternoon of February 11, 2021 in the Winecellar Entry area of the city. Following this, Muir then launched what Judge Crawford described as an "unprovoked, sustained and brutal attack" on the male who came to his friend's aid.
Muir then picked up a beer keg and attempted to throw it at the third man, but he lost his balance and dropped the keg. Despite claiming to have little recollection of the incident, Muir pleaded guilty to one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, two charges of common assault and one count of causing criminal damage.
The barrister added: "It is hoped that as the years go on, the penny will drop and he will, when offered assistance, take it and get his life back on some form of track.
