Sweeney was one of four men in court yesterday.
Sweeney was charged previously with violent disorder. Yesterday, he was charged with assault, criminal damage and false imprisonment. Sweeney also faced one charge of cruelty to a dog under the Animal Welfare act.
A public order charge against Sweeney was withdrawn.
