Former Chase host Andrew O’Keefe will return to court next week with reports new charges are to be brought against him.

O’Keefe was due to appear at Central Local Court this morning but the matter was adjourned for a week after police charged him with allegedly being in possession of 1.5 grams of cannabis.

Police said they intend to file further charges and a detention application would be made “for another matter.”

A matter relating to an AVO breach will be addressed separately.

Police have alleged in court the January 25 incident took place at a Kent Street apartment in Sydney, with O’Keefe accused of grabbing a 38-year-old woman by the throat, pushing her to the ground and punching her.

Magistrate Robert Williams adjourned proceedings today while awaiting information pertaining to the new charges.

O’Keefe did not apply for bail today and will remain bars until at least Friday Feb 11 when the matter returns to court.
