He was refused bail when he appeared in Kingaroy Magistrates Court on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Wortley is also charged with possessing a restricted weapon, stealing, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, evading police, disqualified driving and failing to dispose of a syringe.<\/p>\n

The charges were adjourned to November 28 for mention.<\/p>\n

The man, who was arrested at a Prince Street address, has also been charged with obstructing police, drug offences and a number of traffic-related matters.<\/p>\n

On Saturday afternoon, police attended a house in Alford Street on multiple occasions. After being called back again, they arrested a 37-year-old woman and charged her with misuse of the 000 emergency telephone system.<\/p>\n

At 7:00pm, police intercepted a vehicle in William Street, Kingaroy. The 26-year-old driver has been charged with unlicensed driving and driving while suspended.<\/p>\n

The Kingaroy industrial unit in Pound Street formerly used as a clubhouse by the Rebels motorcycle club – named in a list of prohibited premises by the State Government under recent legislation – is now closed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy Police officer -in-charge Senior Sergeant Duane Frank said the group had been leasing the premises for many years but this was no longer the case and it had reverted to its owner.<\/p>\n

Under the legislation, any members of the Rebels or their associates found near the building would have been charged with an offence.<\/p>\n
