A MAN who allegedly threatened to blow up a service station because they were out of sausage rolls has been bailed by a Brisbane court.

Scott Jason Bryant, 40, of Roma held his head in his hands in the dock of the Brisbane Magistrates Court after he was charged with making a bomb hoax at the Caltex Service Station on Toombul Rd aout 12.30am today.

He also faced counts of committing an act intended to cause grievious bodily harm to the console operator after he allegedly poured petrol on the ground.

Police opposed his bail but defence lawyer Katia Vandenbroucke argued for his release.

The court heard while Bryant had been charged with making a bomb hoax, he'd actually said: "If you don't give me what I want, I have something in my bag and I will press the button".

Magistrate Alan Taylor said the 40-year-old's criminal history didn't cause any great concern.

"But pouring petrol over the grounds of a petrol station is another matter and that's what concerns me," he said.

Mr Taylor said the allegation was that Bryant had threatened to blow up the service station because he couldn't get a sausage roll.

"That's a very extreme reaction, not being able to satisfy someone's need for the munchies when they've had something to drink."

The court was told Bryant had been discharged from Toowoomba Hospital to live with a friend, and was due to undertake rehabilitation for his alcohol issues.

"He was intoxicated on this night," Mr Vandenbroucke said. She said police may have real issues proving intention and that charges may eventually be downgraded.

Bryant was bailed on conditions he live with his friend at Banyo and report to police three times a week. He will reappear before the court on July 19.
