In May 2022 45-year-old Whitsunday man, Paul Malcom Henderson, barricaded himself in his Jubilee Pocket home, after local police attempted to make a welfare check.
A four-day siege at the Erromango Drive property unfolded, and police alleged that Mr Henderson armed himself with a compound bow and shot at police multiple times.
A 100-metre exclusion zone was established, and heavily armed Special Emergency Response Team officers were dispatched to the scene.
Following his arrest on May 23 at 7.30am, Mr Henderson was initially charged with six counts of attempted murder.
He has remained in police custody since his arrest, with his charges being reduced to two counts of malicious act with intent.
His case has now been adjourned until December 2023.
