Sam Wood denied bail after domestic violence charges in Noosa court
Fitness guru Sam Wood was ordered to remain in custody following a refusal of bail for alleged domestic violence charges heard in Noosa on Thursday.
Charges and Bail Decision
The 46-year-old television personality is charged with assaulting and strangling his wife during a family holiday. Police allege the incident occurred at a luxury beachside resort in Noosa on Saturday night. A magistrate refused his bail application, requiring him to stay behind bars instead of returning to Melbourne.
Courtroom Evidence Details
Prosecutors described an alleged event where the accused threw his wife against a wall and attempted to strangle her. Sergeant Jeanette Grigoris told the court about a similar past allegation involving choking and throwing someone against a wall. Magistrate Janelle Boegheim noted that previous allegations would be admissible as evidence but are not proof of criminal conduct.
Witness Account Description
Ms Wood provided a video statement describing her husband as volatile and prone to angry outbursts. She stated she felt compelled to walk on eggshells around him during their relationship. The court heard these descriptions alongside the specific allegations regarding the recent incident in Noosa.
