Episode Details

A fiery 61-year-old street preacher, Colin Houston, has dropped his appeal against a five-month jail sentence after a heated confrontation at Belfast’s City Hall — where he yelled obscenities, called officials names, and resisted arrest. Facing possible double the time if he lost his appeal, Houston reportedly had a change of heart after “quiet reflection,” choosing to accept his punishment instead of risking a harsher sentence. The incident began when he refused to lower his music and flag, escalating into threats toward a councillor and security guards. Convicted on multiple charges including assault and resisting police, Houston now heads to jail — acknowledging supporters in court before being taken away.
