A 28 year old man has been further remanded in jail after he was charged in connection with brandishing a knife on the Main street of Carrickmacross. David Covaciu with an address at Ardee Road, Magheross, Carrickmacross was charged with 2 offences under the firearms and offensive weapons act 1990. He appeared via video link at Cavan District Court earlier today where he was further remanded in custody. The 28 year old is due to appear before Monaghan District Court next Wednesday also via video link.
The 2 counts relate to possession of a knife in a public place. His third charge is for abusive and threatening language under the Public Order Act. The court heard on Monday that Mr Covaciu was seen by a number of eye witnesses and also captured on mobile phone footage that has been widely circulated on social media.
