Suspended Logan Mayor Luke Smith has been released on bail after being charged with obstructing police.
The 48-year-old sported a large bandaid on his forehead when he faced Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Monday.
He had spent the weekend in custody following an incident at a Logan property on Friday morning.
Magistrate Athol Kennedy granted bail on the condition Mr Smith report twice a week to Logan Central police station, and live at his father's home at Meadowlands.
He is also banned from drinking alcohol and will be subject to random testing.
Two male friends and a female were in court to support the embattled suspended mayor.
One man, dressed in a black tracksuit top, told the clerk of the court: “We're here to support the mayor.”
None of the trio spoke to reporters when they left, and Smith's barrister Polina Kinchina also refused to comment.
The matter will return to court on August 21.
Smith is fighting unrelated perjury and corruption allegations after being charged in May by the Crime and Corruption Commission.
