Wendell Sailor Granted Bail After Wollongong Arrest

Overview

• Police say they were called about 11pm Friday to Throsby Drive in Wollongong, where Wendell Sailor allegedly obstructed traffic before being arrested.
• He was charged with breach of bail, obstructing traffic and resisting arrest, then appeared via video from Wollongong Police Station on Saturday morning.
• His lawyer told the court he accepted breaching a condition prohibiting public intoxication and attributed his lapse to personal difficulties related to a divorce.
• The magistrate granted bail on the same terms as before and cautioned that any further breach could see him returned to custody.
• The police prosecutor cited allegations of alcohol‑fuelled violence in opposing bail, and a total no‑alcohol condition was proposed but not imposed, with the case due back in court later this month.
