Derrick was born to [[Maureen McReary]] and [[Mr. McReary]] in [[Dukes]]. Born in 1956, he is the oldest one of their children, followed by [[Francis]], [[Gerry]], [[Packie]] and [[Kate]]. He was arrested at three different protests in the early 1970s, all before he was 18. In 1978, he and [[Bucky Sligo]] were arrested for armed robbery when Derrick snitched on him, later taking heavy drugs to forget the incident and going into denial. He was arrested in 1980 for cocaine possession and according to the LCPD, his heroin addiction was picked up in prison. In 1985, the last of his American criminal record was him getting caught carrying explosives. | Derrick was born to [[Maureen McReary]] and [[Mr. McReary]] in [[Dukes]].

Their combat ended by 1995, when Aiden was arrested for a string of extremely violent robberies and Derrick snitched on him as well. He stayed in Ireland for years after, until returning to his family in 2008. | ||
