Sam Wood charged with two domestic violence offences

Australian television personality and fitness entrepreneur Sam Wood has been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm in a domestic setting and strangulation in a domestic setting after police were called to Noosa on Saturday night, Queensland Police said. Wood, 46, remained in custody after appearing at Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday, October 5, according to reports of the hearing. Police said officers were called to an address in Noosa at about 9 p.m. on Saturday, October 3. A report of the court appearance said Wood’s lawyer requested an adjournment to Thursday, October 8, when a bail application was to be scheduled. The supplied reports do not establish the outcome of that application, and the charges are allegations, not findings of guilt. Wood and his wife, Snezana, issued a joint statement on social media after the charges. The statement said the family was working through a difficult time and cooperating with authorities. It did not address the specific allegations. The case concerns two charges arising from an alleged domestic violence incident. The available reports provide no further established account of what occurred.
