After a long and harrowing battle, the neighbourhood of Maple Avenue can finally breathe a sigh of relief as their troublesome neighbour, known locally as ‘Mr Mayhem’, has been kicked out. The convicted flasher has been a thorn in the community’s side for years, terrorising residents and causing chaos wherever he went. But after numerous complaints and appeals, the authorities have finally taken action and removed him from the area. In this article, we take a look at the story behind ‘Mr Mayhem’ and the impact his presence had on those around him.
Peter Brady, also known as “Mr Mayhem,” has finally been evicted from his home in the Bridge Street area of Lurgan, much to the joy of his long-suffering neighbors. Brady had been charged with threatening to damage his neighbor’s property and breaching a restraining order, and knowing that he was about to be moved on, he went out onto the street and started threatening his neighbors. He even padlocked the gates of the local church across the road. Brady had been harassing his neighbors for five years, making their lives miserable with false complaints to the police and taking in their unemptied bins. The police got fed up with his constant harassment and waste of their time, and he was convicted last year of two counts of harassment on two neighbors and of exposing his genitals to a female neighbor who he had also been harassing.
In February, just before he was due to face a court hearing about the eviction, Brady had the emergency services out to his house claiming to be paralyzed. A fire crew had to cut his front window out so he could be carried out to an ambulance and taken to the hospital, but he walked back into his flat a few hours later. He was being evicted by his housing association, and it’s believed that he had decided to have one last go at his neighbors before he left for good.
Several homeowners in the Bridge Street area of Lurgan cheered and sighed with relief when the removal vans arrived to empty Brady’s belongings. Brady had waged a shocking campaign of harassment on his neighbors, calling the cops over 100 times and taking in their unemptied bins. Peter Brady, the 50-year-old neighbor from hell, had finally decided to leave the neighborhood after being convicted of harassing his neighbors and intentionally exposing himself to another female neighbor.
Glenn Bell, a neighbor whom Brady had been convicted of harassing last year, said “He went on one last rant. He must have known he was about to be moved on and so he went out onto the street and started threatening people, threatening their property, and he put a lock on the church, which he only removed when the police turned up.” Brady was taken away in a police car, and the last the neighbors saw of him was when a removal van turned up on Friday and took away all his stuff, bringing relief to the neighbors.
Brady had spent weeks in prison after breaching a restraining order for harassing his neighbors. While in prison, he even found time to confront driller killer Colin Howell, challenging the double-murderer to a fistfight. Brady had made false complaints to the police, accusing people visiting his neighbors of being prostitutes or members of the IRA. Despite repeatedly wasting police time over the last four years, Brady felt that a newspaper article was worthy of calling them out again.
