New charge against football boss

Roy McCreadie denies the charges

An additional charge of resisting arrest has been made against an Irish Premier League soccer manager.

Roy McCreadie, 47, had already faced five charges arising out of an alleged incident at Caledon in County Tyrone.

The charges against the Newry City Football Club manager include assault on three police officers on 18 December last year.

A defence lawyer told the hearing at Armagh Magistrates Court that all of the charges were being contested.

Mr McCreadie also denies charges of failing to provide a breath test and resisting arrest.

The case was adjourned until 28 June and Mr McCreadie, of Moss Park in Londonderry, was released on continuing bail.
