A man accused of possessing an imitation firearm will appear in court again later this month.

Leroy Stephen McHarrie of Mona Drive in Douglas appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse via a live video link from prison.

The 22-year-old denies criminal damage, affray and possessing the imitation gun on November 17, and hasn't yet entered pleas to two counts of assaulting a police officer and one of criminal damage on New Year's Day.

There was no bail application and he was remanded in custody to appear again on January 20.
