Family fight at wedding

A family falling out ended up in a street fight at a wedding in Derry, the local court has heard.
During the case of Eamon McCauley (24), of 9 Forest Street, Belfast, Derry Magistrate’s Court heard that at 1am on July 7 last year, police were tasked to a disturbance outside Pitcher’s Bar at Alder Road. Around six men were reported to be fighting in the car park. When officers arrived they spoke to McCauley, who had a cut to his face, and whose jumper was covered in blood.When asked what had happened, McCauley told officers to “F*** off”. He continued to be abusive to police when asked to calm down, telling officers to “F*** away off”. McCauley admitted using disorderly behaviour. A defence solicitor said there had been a “falling out” among family members previously and that had continued at the wedding, culminating in a fight later on in the evening. “Unfortunately, this was just a family get together that went wrong.” McCauley was fined £300.
