Tamworth's Michael Foxman behind bars after bail bid is rejected in court

The 50-year-old appeared in Armidale Local Court this week where police successfully applied to have him detained for breaches of bail.

The case had been moved from Tamworth Local Court to Armidale to allow a fresh magistrate to deal with the case.

Foxman has been in custody since he was arrested in Sydney on the night of January 13 by Sydney-based police.

The following day he was taken to a Sydney hospital for a specialist health assessment, where he had remained until the weekend.

After the assessment was completed, his matters were returned to court which triggered the hearing on the detention application.

The matter was then moved to Armidale where magistrate Roger Prowse heard a bail application from Foxman's solicitor Ljupka Subeska, but ultimately refused bail, ordering Foxman into custody.

The detention application was triggered after police had claimed Foxman breached his bail by accessing social media on several occasions.

Two charges of stalk or intimidation have been adjourned to Tamworth for the magistrate to determine an application to have the charges dealt with under a Section 32 application of the Mental Health Act.

On the same day, Foxman's other charges were listed in Tamworth court where several hearing dates were set.

Magistrate Julie Soars set charges of threatening a person with intent to influence a public justice official, and using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend.

The charges will be heard at a hearing in Tamworth set down for April.

Foxman is accused of using an email to threaten, harass or offend on September 25; and a second allegation centres on Foxman allegedly threatening a police prosecutor in his conduct as a public justice official on September 28 in connection to a judicial proceeding, namely the court case involving Foxman.

The court has previously heard in September he allegedly sent threatening emails and forced the evacuation of the Tamworth courthouse, after he claimed it would be the "only thing left" when he had "finished with them".

Another charge of being knowingly concerned in an offence of unlawfully providing persons to carry on security activities will also be heard at a hearing in the same court in mid-May.

Some of the charges had been adjourned from January after Ms Subeska took over Foxman's legal representation.

Foxman has already applied to have some of his guilty pleas for matters traversed, with the application to be determined at hearing.
