A Currimundi woman accused of shoplifting and then attacking a shopping centre security guard when she tried to stop her will have a second bail application, a court has been told.

Coco JB Joyce Bishop-Hewitt, 24, was charged with robbery with actual violence and stealing after she allegedly lashed out at 39-year-old Sunshine Plaza security guard on Sunday, May 7.

She has not entered a plea.

Her matter was mentioned in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Friday, December 1, where lawyer Luke Bull told the court his client would eventually be making a second bail application.

Ms Bishop-Hewitt was previously denied bail on May 8.

The court was told on Friday that Ms Bishop-Hewitt’s matter had been suspended under the mental health act but it was later unsuspended.

Mr Bull said a brief of evidence had been compiled for the matter.

The court was previously told Ms Bishop-Hewitt allegedly tried to leave Kmart with a trolley of stolen items and the security guard was called to intervene.

The two argued, the court was told, before Ms Bishop-Hewitt allegedly headbutted the guard twice.

The security guard walked a short distance after the alleged attack, collapsed and stopped breathing, requiring CPR, the court was told.

She was revived and rushed to Sunshine Coast University Hospital, the court was told. It was also told Ms Bishop-Hewitt was found close by and arrested shortly after.

Ms Bishop-Hewitt remains in custody and will return to the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on December 7.
