Former Australian cricketer Michael Slater was denied bail on domestic violence charges on Tuesday (April 16). Following the verdict, Slater&nbsp;collapsed in court,&nbsp;at the Queensland state, and needed assistance to get back on his feet. The ex-player was remanded in police custody and charged with multiple domestic violence offences, including stalking and intimidation.

Police allegations against Slater were detailed in the court even as he applied for bail. Notably, the former cricketer was arrested for facing as many as 19 charges, including unlawful stalking, assault&nbsp;occasioning bodily harm, and choking or strangulation. However, the 54-year-old has brushed aside all such serious allegations in the court.&nbsp;

Slater was taken into custody following his bail application being rejected. In addition, his matter has been listed for a committal hearing on May 31. As reported by ABC News, the court heard that the veteran has mental health conditions that can result in "impulsive and reckless" behaviour.

Last week, Slater was arrested after complaints of domestic violence surfaced against him. Some of the alleged violent acts were even caught on CCTV at the women's property, as per&nbsp;Fox Sports. The former cricketer, who has represented Australia in 74 Tests and 42 ODIs, was also charged with breaching bail and 10 counts of 'contravening a domestic violence order'.

Talking about Slater's international career, the former right-hander amassed 5,312 runs in Tests, including 14 hundreds. In ODIs, he couldn't make any such impact and only managed 987 runs with a best of 73. Since his retirement, he has been fairly active as a commentator.&nbsp;

Ex-Aussie cricketer Michael Slater collapses in court after bail denied in domestic violence case

Former Australian opener Michael Slater is reported to have assaulted a police officer and got charged and arrested for the same past Friday night. The incident happened in Noosa Heads (Queensland), where police were called to a residence over an alleged domestic violence and medical issue.&nbsp;

As reported by the Daily Mail, Slater had obstructed police and even assaulted an officer causing a small cut on his hands. For the similar reasons mentioned, the ex-Australian opener is expected to appear at Noosa Magistrates Court on May 2. The police didn’t provide further information on privacy grounds.

“The man is expected to appear before Noosa Magistrates Court on May 2," police told AAP in a statement. “As the matter is domestic violence and medical in nature, for privacy reasons, no further information will be provided."

Having made headlines for wrong reasons lately, in the past year only, Slater was convicted of assault and breaching a restraining order among other offences against a woman.

Although the domestic violence charges against him dismissed, citing mental health issues, he was reportedly diagnosed with bipolar disorder by a psychologist and two doctors. At that time, the court got informed that Slater was dealing with ‘significant mental impairment.’

“That’s significant because if he has bipolar disorder and he’s not being treated for it, then … it’s likely that any treatment he has had hasn’t treated the whole of his condition,” Slater’s lawyer told the court in November last year as quoted by Fox Sports.&nbsp;

Even in 2021, when covid was at its peak, Slater, who wrapped up his commentary duties in IPL (during the India leg in April), got stuck in the Maldives as the permission for the flights coming from India to land in Australia got denied owing to the strict covid protocols in the country. For this, Slater even went public against the Australian government.

Meanwhile, the stylish opener, who played 74 Tests and 42 ODIs for Australia between 1993 and 2001, took up a career in broadcasting later on and became a popular commentator with time.&nbsp;

Ex-Aussie opener Michael Slater charged with assaulting Queensland police following a heated confrontation

Former Australian cricketer-turned-commentator Michael Slater has been arrested after he allegedly sent several text messages and made phone calls to the person he was charged with stalking and harassing in October this year. 
 
The 51-year-old, who played 74 Tests and scored 5,000-plus runs, was arrested by the New South Wales (NSW) Police for allegedly breaching an apprehended violence order (AVO) on Wednesday morning after he "allegedly sent at least 66 text messages and made 18 phone calls to the complainant". 
 
A report in abc.net.au said on Wednesday that, "Slater appeared at Manly Local Court via video link and crossed his arms on the screen as details of the alleged breach were revealed. The court was told that, during a two-and-a-half-hour window on Tuesday evening, Mr. Slater allegedly sent at least 66 text messages and made 18 phone calls to the complainant."

As per the report, the prosecutor termed the nature of the messages as "harassing and highly offensive". 
 
In October this year, Slater had appeared in court after he was "charged with stalking/intimidating" his partner of three years in an alleged incident. It was then reported that he was arrested "at his home in Manly, north of Sydney and taken to Manly police station". 
 
Officers attached to the Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command, NSW had then been quoted as saying by stuff.co.nz that Slater was "arrested and taken to Manly police station, where he was charged with use (of a) carriage service to menace/harass/offend and stalk/intimidate intend fear physical harm." 
 
On Wednesday, Slater's lawyer, James McLoughlin, was quoted as saying that his client suffered from an alcohol disorder and had been receiving treatment in hospital since he was originally granted bail. 
 
"But he had relapsed and slipped up once," McLoughlin was quoted as saying. 
 
McLoughlin said that at the time Slater sent the messaged and made phone calls, "the disorder was heavily at play". 
 
The lawyer pleaded that Slater be released on bail "with conditions including that he travel directly to his sister`s house until a Northern Beaches Hospital bed was available". 
 
Slater was recently dropped from the Channel 7 commentary panel ahead of the 2021/22 season. The reason behind the non-renewal of Slater's contract was "budgetary constraints".

There were reports that Slater's infamous tweets against Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison in May this year made a partial contribution to his exit from Channel 7. 
 
In a series of fierce tweets, Slater controversially accused Morrison of having 'blood on his hands'&nbsp;for preventing 40 Australian citizens participating in first half of IPL 2021 to return from India, where the second wave of COVID-19 infections put a halt to the tournament. 
 
"If our Government cared for the safety of Aussies they would allow us to get home. It's a disgrace! Blood on your hands PM. How dare you treat us like this. How about you sort out the quarantine system. I had government permission to work on the IPL but I now have government neglect," Slater had tweeted. 
 
His second tweet read, "Amazing to smoke out the PM on a matter that is a human crisis. The panic, the fear of every Australian in India is real!! How about you take your private jet and come and witness dead bodies on the street!"
