Former TV host Andrew O'Keefe granted bail following his arrest on fresh charges.

Andrew O'Keefe, a well-known TV personality, has recently been released from custody despite concerns raised by prosecutors about his potential threat to the community. The 52-year-old was arrested in Sydney's eastern suburbs after testing positive for drugs during a roadside test. This is not the first time he has been in trouble with the law, as he has also been previously found guilty of domestic violence-related offences.

According to reports, O'Keefe had allegedly threatened a man at a home in the affluent suburb of Point Piper before his arrest. He was charged with contravening an apprehended violence order and stalking or intimidating the man. After spending the night in custody, he was granted conditional bail in court today. His lawyer argued that the incident was a "one-on-one" matter and that O'Keefe was simply checking the property for any potential burglars.

However, the prosecutor opposed bail, citing O'Keefe's history of domestic violence and the possibility of him being a danger to the community. The prosecution also stated that O'Keefe was found with an ice pipe and had tested positive for methamphetamine during the arrest. Despite these concerns, the magistrate granted bail with strict conditions, including regular reporting to the police and undergoing drug testing.

O'Keefe, who appeared to be under the influence of drugs during the arrest, is scheduled to appear in court again in August. This is just the latest legal trouble for the former Deal or No Deal host, who has been open about his struggles with drug addiction and mental health issues. He is also set to appeal previous convictions for domestic violence and drug possession charges in the District Court this week.

As O'Keefe walked out of the police station this afternoon, he was accompanied by his sister, who had come to support him in court. The charges against him have caused concern among his fans and supporters, who can seek help from support services like Lifeline and Beyond Blue. In the meantime, sports fans can look forward to the Olympic Games Paris 2024, which will be broadcasted live and free on Channel 9 and 9Now, and in 4K on Stan Sport.
