Former Bachelor Sam Wood to fight for bail application on domestic violence charges
Sam Wood will launch a new fight for bail in the state's highest court after he was remanded in custody yesterday.
Mr Wood's legal team say they have been instructed to file a new bail application with the Supreme Court of Queensland.
Mr Wood remains in police custody to return to court on the Sunshine Coast on November 23.
Online fitness trainer and former reality TV contestant Sam Wood will take his fight for bail to the highest court in Queensland.
Mr Wood, who is facing domestic violence charges, spent his first night in prison since his application for bail was rejected by a magistrate on the Sunshine Coast.
The 46-year-old has since been moved from the police watch house in Maroochydore to the high security Brisbane Correctional Centre in Wacol.
Police allege Mr Wood became involved in a family argument at a Noosa property on Saturday night which ended with him assaulting his wife Snezana.
He is charged with the domestic violence offence of assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation in a domestic setting.
Mr Wood's legal team confirmed it had been instructed to make a new bail application to the Supreme Court of Queensland, which would happen "imminently".
At Thursday's bail application in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court the accused appeared via video-link from the police watch house.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Jeanette Grigoris told the court the alleged assault left Ms Wood fearing for her life.
Sergeant Grigoris also referred to a video supplied by the complainant in which she described being "choked", her head being banged on the floor and being unable to breathe.
The court heard it was Mr Wood's stepdaughter who made a Triple Zero call to police which led to the fitness influencer's arrest.
The prosecution opposed the bail application yesterday, telling the court Mr Wood had "the resources to essentially flee the jurisdiction".
