Overview
- Police arrested Sam Wood after an alleged domestic violence incident at a Hastings Street Noosa property on Saturday and charged him with assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation.
- Prosecutors tendered two photographs of the complainant’s injuries and a recorded victim statement that they told the court amounted to strong evidence, and police said the complainant supports the charges.
- Wood appeared by video link at Maroochydore Magistrates Court where a magistrate refused his bail application and remanded him in custody until November 23.
- DBG Health, the parent of 28 by Sam Wood, has terminated all commercial arrangements with Wood and removed him as the public face of the fitness brand, prompting other partners and peers to publicly distance themselves.
- The criminal case comes on top of earlier corporate and fiscal scrutiny of Wood, including an ATO writ alleging roughly $7.3 million in unpaid tax liabilities and ASIC-initiated deregistration of one of his companies, matters that have shaped his public profile.
