The 59-year-old has not yet entered a plea to 10 charges which include five counts of acts intended to resist or prevent lawful arrest and one count each of arson, serious assault of a police officer and obstructing police that stem from his stand-off with police at his Ruthven Street home on November 24, 2021.

Police allege Mr Kunne sprayed an officer in the face with bleach, which kicked off the tense scene which only ended when Public Safety Response Team officers stormed the premises.

He was taken to Toowoomba Hospital where he underwent surgery and has been held in custody since.

Solicitor Brad Skuse told the court the charges had been suspended pending a mental health report, as per the Mental Health Act, and the matter was adjourned to September 5 with Mr Kunne remanded to remain in custody.
