A TRIO of family members from Clabby have each received suspended jail sentences after they admitted making a false allegation of assault to the police over a year ago.
Noel Henry Robert Storey (45) and Christina Storey (36), of Morrow Park, Clabby, and Sarah Storey (58), of a neighbouring address in Morrow Park, were all charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice on October 3, 2015.
The defendants were each accused of making a false allegation of assault in a witness statement to the police.
After they had all entered a guilty plea to the charge, they were sentenced at Dungannon Crown Court on Tuesday.
The three defendants each received six-month jail terms, which were then suspended for three years.
